Hi,

I'm wondering if the spec for IMAP searches, using
BEFORE/SINCE/ON calls out to search based on the "Date:"
header, or is it supposed to search on the message file's
date?

The reason I ask is I have several messages whose file
creation times are several days after the actual date on the
Date: header, and these show up in the search results when I
typically did not expect them to appear.

So for example, I performed a search like this:

UID SEARCH SINCE "Sep-20-2003"

And the result set returned a bunch of messages that had
their file timestamp as 9/22, but the Date: headers were as
early as 8/21. So I guess that the search is being done
based on the message file's timestamp. Is that the correct
implementation? I imagined that it would match based on the
Date: header... ?
