You don't need to go through that much trouble and your method wouldn't
work anyways.

The Inbox has the Received column and the date/time there comes from the
mail server when it received the message. The date/time on the sending
computer is not used.

If you want to have a message with a modified received date,
- Do a File, Save As to save a sample message to an *.EML file, or
drag-and-drop the message to Windows folder
- Then edit the file in Notepad or other text editor. In this case
change the date in the first (top most) "Received:" header
- Save the file.
- With OE5+, you can drag-and-drop the message back to an OE folder. .

Would this work... Change your computer clock to a few years in the
future. Send yourself an email. Change your computer clock back and
check your mail. Leave that message in your inbox and it should remain
at the top. I'm guessing you are concerned about unintentionally
displaying a message.
