The method in the FAQ is much more complete than the following, but it
is also more cumbersome if you don't already have formail and procmail
installed.
For a one time Quick and dirty to convert:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 01 Dec 2005 15:02:08 -0500
to
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 1 15:02:08 2005
You can try the following:
python script.py <old_mbox >new_mbox
where script.py is between the dashed lines
----------------------------------------------------------
import sys
import time
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
if line.startswith('From '):
fields = line.split()
date = ' '.join(fields[2:7])
try:
t = time.strptime(date, '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S')
newtime = time.asctime(t)
line = ' '.join(fields[0:2] + [newtime] + ['\n'])
except ValueError:
pass
sys.stdout.writelines([line])
----------------------------------------------------------
(I should add this to the FAQ)
