On Sunday, October 28 at 03:16 AM, quoth Timo Sirainen:* SORT: If Date: header is missing or broken, fallback to using INTERNALDATE (as the SORT draft nowadays specifies).Since this is a subject I looked at before, I'm rather curious. Where in the SORT draft does it say to fall back to INTERNALDATE? What I read (from http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-imapext-sort-19.txt, section 2.2) is this:
A better, more stable link is here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-imapext-sort
As used in this document, the term "sent date" refers to the date
and time from the Date: header, adjusted by time zone to
normalize to UTC. For example, "31 Dec 2000 16:01:33 -0800" is
equivalent to the UTC date and time of "1 Jan 2001 00:01:33
+0000".
If the time zone is invalid, the date and time SHOULD be treated
as UTC. If the time is also invalid, the time SHOULD be treated
as 00:00:00. If there is no valid date or time, the date and
time SHOULD be treated as 00:00:00 on the earliest possible date.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the
surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90
million miles away, and think this to be normal, is obviously some
indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be...
