Of course you have to save any changes to make them persistent, and that
will change dates. There's really no way to change an item in any way
without changing various date properties.

Well, as it turns out, the suggestion re other recipients was also not
workable. In order to save the changes, I have to call lMailItem.Save
which
promptly resets the dates on the message.
