Hi all, This is somewhat of a complex issue. The scenario works as follows:
1. My POP account receives several emails. Fetching them with CF, the DATE column of the returned CFPOP query are all the same, for example 01/01/2000 10:10:10. The action is "getHeaderOnly". 2. I fetch the emails using a regular POP3 client (Thunderbird 1.0 in this case), they display the correct date. This client is set to "delete" as they are downloaded. 3. I then send some more emails to my POP account and fetch them using CF. The DATE column is essentially "refreshed" to the time that Thunderbird fetched/deleted the emails. If I switch off the "delete after download" option in Thunderbird, the date/time is not refreshed. This leads me to the conclusion that the DATE column in the query returned by CFPOP IS NOT parsed from the date header of the email message. <rant> Is it just me, or is this behaviour incredibly stupid? Is my POP3 daemon (courier pop3d MySQL enabled) broken? Yes, my system time is correct: synchronized with two stratum 1 NTP servers. Is there a way to access the raw message source so I can at least parse it out myself? Is this wrong, or am I just crazy. What the frig is the point of having a half-assed poorly implemented POP3 client? God help me when I need to start using CFFTP or CFHTTP. And no, don't tell me to use CFX_POP or something else, because a) the Macromedia implementation should work and b) I'm hosted on a Unix environment. Don't even get me started on the broken inline image CID munging issue in CFPOP. </rant> Frustratingly yours, Jono ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware: a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
