I use the Eudora version quite often - maybe once or twice a week. there is one mail client (not figured out what it is) that uses non-standard headers that would trip up this script. They're so non-standard that OE can't sort out what the date is meant to be at all, and they show a variety of dates several years different to what it is meant to be. This was reported to me by an OE user who kept getting message with weird dates from one particular correspondent. Apart from this case, I've never come across it before, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. -- =Barry Wainwright= <http://www.barryw.net> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
