I think that like security bugs, potential data loss bugs also
justify a bugfix maintenance release.

At the same time, if 2.0.9 is rolled out anyway, I'd suggest
to put in that little patch to insert a Date: header.  (You
see the missing Date: header bug only if you run a MTA like
Qmail which doesn't add missing Date: headers on its own.)

Greetings, Norbert.
