Hi Christian, Thanks for taking a look at this.

It seems the mbox format uses date instead: format 2 > Fri Aug 22 20:27:14 EDT 2003 > > Christian I did observe that man date lists the -R option which gives the date in RFC 822 format (format 1, above) which is what I would have expected mutt to be looking for. It seems that exim, when sending sending a local message, writes the "From " line according to the second format. The default mail user agent (BSD mail) does not have a problem with either form of the "From " line. It also seems that formail does not change the format of the "From " line to the format the mutt expects. --Lance -- Lance Tagliapietra | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Contract Software Engineer Amiga Enthusiast | TeXnically Aware | Embedded Systems Developer
