I never met that future date problem, so I don't know if it could be corrected properly (by guessing the correct date from the header), and other date-related talks didn't mention a script doing what you propose (which I find overkill, too much user interaction), but my script "What? 1945? You're kidding?" would do the trick. It replaces the "sent" date with the "received" date, which should be good enough in most cases (unless your mac's clock wasn't set properly when the messages came, of course). Be aware that it seems impossible to change dates without forging a replacement message, and that nobody seemed to find how to forge incoming messages with attachments, so links to attachments will be broken (but paths are added at the top of the message, I'm proud of that as no other script seems to even care, even those that claim to "archive" messages). In fact your question just made me release an english version 1.1 (finally), and a page to host it: http://vric.free.fr/mac/Emailer/ Oh, 4 AM already, I definitely need to find something to eat now. Hm, those meat balls in a red sauce will do. Go away, cat. ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
