It depends on how you've setup your mail reader. I generally
trust the date set by the sender, because it is a mroe
accurate reflection of a chronological discussion (the
receive date for my mail would be all bulked together as I
grab a chunk using fetchmail).

However for my filtered folder or main inbox I use the
received-date, so new mail always goes to the end, even if
it says it's from the dark ages.
