Well, I often (now) keep extracts of mail in my Org buffers. Via a capture template[1], these get a TODO keyword, a SCHEDULED date (by default, set to today), a link to the Gnus message (or http link to Gmane) and the date of = the mail. Why keeping the date of the original mail? Because it's interested to see, when scanning which emails I still have to answer on, when they've been issued -- without having to follow on the link. It is an indication of the age of the mail, that could serve as well for sorting the subtrees (if I'm not wrong -- I don't use that feature but...). Does this answer your question?
