I seem to remember an option for this back in the day (perhaps in kmail1?). In
any case I wouldn't change the mail these days to not break possible
signatures. But use this new fallback date in the C++ and user interface when
reading the date field. That way missing (or invalid) dates get a valid useful
date for sorting and displaying.

Though it might be useful if dates in the future are marked as invalid early so
they don't become valid later. But it could be changed in stages.
