Save email as .eml, with custom date

Question

I have emails in DB, and i want to save them as *.eml files.

SmtpClient Client = new SmtpClient();
Client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory;
Client.PickupDirectoryLocation = @"c:\aaa\import";
MailMessage Message = new MailMessage();
...
Client.Send(Message);

This works, but it replace the Date header to the present date and time. How can i define custom dates and times?

I found this, but it is not free.

You are halfway there since you specify PickupDirectory.

Specify a different directory.

After saving, open up the file in your code and change the date and time.

Then move file to the PickupDirectory specified in your IIS SMTP settings.

Oh, this would be an ugly solution. – trob Jul 14 '13 at 00:06
ugly and free, and not too difficult. The .eml is a text file. Date and time is probably the 2nd or 3rd line from the top. – MikeLim Aug 09 '13 at 07:52
