I had always used Mail::Folder and family, decided to try
Mail::Message and family since it appears to be the successor.
I have been to perl.overmeer.net (perl.overmeer.org?) and looked
at their documentation too. I don't know if what I am seeing
is a bug, or some subtlety in how things work (and I am not
seeing in the documentation).
1) I can see no way to directly call guessTimestamp(). Every
variation I try in the debugger is unsuccessful.
2) I get messages from a $folder. If I then try to retrieve
the Received header (which can be multiple) I find a couple
of things. @array=$message->get('Received'); only retrieves
the last (first? one anyway) Received header. It also
does NOT return the timestamp information at the end (after
the semicolon). Calling @array=$message->head->get('Received')
does return all the Received headers, with the time stamp
still there.
Want a sample program (probably not a great one) which sorts mbox
messages by date? (I've been concatenating many mboxen.)

Hi,
this old bug is still open in the Debian database, so I assume
you haven't got a reply. Apologies for the long delay.

Sorry, I don't see what the problem is. This snippet more or less
straight from the Mail::Box manual page works fine for me:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Mail::Box::Manager;
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
my $folder = $mgr->open(folder => 't.mbox');
print $folder->message(0)->guessTimestamp(), "\n";

The first part of this is documented behaviour, and was so already in
2.029. The Mail::Message::get() documentation states that only the last
instance of multiple appearances is returned and suggests using
Mail::Message::Head::get() (which you're doing) if this isn't enough.
The other part, Mail::Message::get() stripping the attributes after the
semicolon, was documented in upstream version 2.043. The first Debian
version to include it was 2.052-1.
I'm closing this bug. Feel free to reply if you want to reopen it.
Cheers,
