A friend of mine (who appears to be a lurker on this list) did this. You
can change the originating TDstamp, but the receiving system puts it's own
stamp on it as well. The recieving system doesn't so much stomp the old
TD, as ignore it... =)

Although if you were able to delay the message's delivery for a day or
two, then it would be sorta handy... (This is going on my limited
knowledge of Unix, tho... )
