I've found the cause of the problem. The "Date:" is followed by a tab character. And this is not formail that modifies the "Date:" header, but some MTA/MDA (which replaces the tab by a space) between the host that runs procmail and the final host. Now I wonder if this MTA/MDA has the right to do that. If it has the right to do that, because the tab and the space are equivalent here, I wonder if procmail should also regard them as equivalent too[*]. That would be more consistent. [*] procmail already unfolds headers, so that this would make sense. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
