   Then you'd want to set the when_written_time property of the message header   
   object being passed to MsgBase.save_msg() with that time_t value.

   The "date" property is used when importing messages from an RFC822-formatted   
   source/protocol (e.g. SMTP, NNTP, IMAP).

   The JS strftime() function is just a wrapper for the C run-time library   
   function of the same name. So depending on your OS, you can either run "man   
   strftime" or see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime   
   library/reference/strftime-wcsftime-strftime-l-wcsftime-l to read more up on   
   how strftime() works for your platform.
