I wasn't replying to your sigh, I was replying to your speed concern. 
If nobody else cares about the Received field, then by all means leave
it out.  Like I said, I'll just switch to using the Date field (in fact
I have).  I used it because it was there, if it's not there I won't use
it.

Like I said, don't re-add the Received header just on my account.  If no
one else cares, just leave it out (although you need to remove the
reference to it in the other parts of the code, like the column list).
