I did some more testing and it appears this is only a problem if I bounce
a message sent to my gmail address.

That is, I've configured alpine to access gmail via IMAP, and send email
through Google's SMTP servers. When I bounce a message this way, it
changes the From and Date headers.

If I use alpine to bounce a message from a more standards-compliant IMAP
server, the From and Date headers are preserved as expected.

Hrmm..
