Let's use a sample, you archive mail once a month, like this:
archivemail --date=30 --suffix=_%Y-%b mailbox
If you run that on November, you get an archive called:
mailbox_2002_Nov.gz
Which in fact holds October messages because the current date is used
for the suffix.
With the following patch, the suffix uses the cut date, which is a
better aproximation of the date of the contents of the archive:
--- archivemail.orig 2002-11-16 12:05:12.000000000 +0100
+++ archivemail 2002-11-16 12:10:24.000000000 +0100

os.umask(077) # saves setting permissions on mailboxes/tempfiles
# allow the user to embed time formats such as '%B' in the suffix string
+ if options.date_old_max == None:
+ parsed_suffix_time = time.time() - options.days_old_max*24*60*60
+ else:
+ parsed_suffix_time = options.date_old_max
+
parsed_suffix = time.strftime(options.archive_suffix,
- time.localtime(time.time()))
+ time.localtime(parsed_suffix_time))
if options.archive_name:
final_archive_name = options.archive_name
Even something like mailbox_DateOfFirstMessage_DateOfLastMessage could
be usefull. But that would take a little more work. If you find this
idea interesting, I could try to implement it.
Thanks

See subject. Upstream CVS has merged this patch ages ago, but there was
no release since then. This has changed now, and archivemail 0.6.2
finally has it. I don't think the change was documented, though. I
will update the manpage accordingly for the next release.
Thanks,
Nikolaus
