If you add
Date: Thu Jan 2 13:16:21 2020 +0100
in the beginning of the message body, `git am` will take that as author date
instead of the date in the email header.
`git help am` does not state that, but `git help format-patch` and the
format it creates shows that this is how it works, and I just tested this,
and it works this way.
Kind regards,
Paul
