Without looking at how your user has Mail.app configured, I can only make an educated guess as to what's going on. Since Sam has confirmed that INTERNALDATE is the message file's modification time, that makes it easier. Look at the mailbox window in Mail.app and see what the column title is for the date field. If it is "Date Received", then Mail.app is displaying the INTERNALDATE here. This is completely in line with the IMAP4rev1 spec, which says that INTERNALDATE is the "date and time which reflects when the message was received." You can change this column to "Date Sent", and it will show the Date: header instead. > >I just wanted some proof that the client is not compliant by pointing > >to a standard which says the client must use the SMTP Date header. > > It's not technically a protocol violation, but rather than a simple bug. > The mail client is simply showing a wrong field. It's not a bug at all, it's just Mail.app doing what it was told to do. Regards, -- Donald L.
