[moneydance] post date on transfers

I'm using Moneydance 2008 (build 603) and I'm wondering what the best 
way is to record a transfer between two accounts where the date 
different between the two sides of the transaction. This is pretty 
common if you mail a check or if there is some clearing house in the 
middle that holds the money while in transit. Moneydance wants the two 
dates to be identical, yet one of them will have to be wrong.

I'm wondering if the tax date feature might help here, though it doesn't 
seem like the ideal approach.

Another approach would be to create a transfer account, so you can 
record the correct withdrawal date from account A to the transfer 
account, and then record the correct date for the deposit to account B 
from the transfer account. But that's a fair bit of overhead for just a 
date skew problem.
