test method for email headers in apex email services

How do I specify the name,value for email headers in my test method for inbound email services?
	Messaging.InboundEmail.Header[] hd = email.headers[name='Date', value='Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:08:37 -0700'];


THIS GIVES AN ERROR

	Messaging.InboundEmail.Header[] hd = email.headers;
hd[0].name='Date';
hd[0].value='Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:08:37 -0700'];

THIS GIVES 
SYSTEM.NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION ERROR


 Any help will be greatly appreciated

You can use this to test the headers of an inbound email:
 
 
Messaging.InboundEmail.Header hditem= new Messaging.InboundEmail.Header();
 email.headers=new Messaging.InboundEmail.Header[1];
 hditem.name='Date';
 hditem.value='Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:08:37 -0700';
 email.headers[0]=hditem;
