TF Ah - that's what I mean, but I thought "From:" and "From" is the same. TF Stupid me. TF (BTW what is the difference?) "From:" is a RFC822 header (not sure if it is required, but surely 99.99% of all mails do have it; all these RFC822 headers must have a colon after the name) and is what you see in TB! in any From columns and fields. The "From " line (note the space) is not part of RFC822, but is needed by the UNIX mbox format to separate individual messages from each other in the mailbox file. To be more specific, the from line has a more complicated format than just to begin with "From ", it contains an email address and a time (which is usually interpreted as the 'received' time, while the time from the RFC822 Date: header is the 'created' time).

Hello Peter Steiner, Responding to your article on Wed, 11 Oct 2000 at 22:17:59 GMT +0200 (which was 12/10/2000 3:17 GMT +0700 my Local Time) : MSG Is there a way to change the order of TO and From on a new MSG message?

AFAIK RFC-822 not state about the order, just about header field. Some headers created by MUA and others by MTA, and the moral said : do not change original data", perhaps other MUA or application still keep/refer RFC Standard. -- Best regards, - Syafril - Name : Syafril Hermansyah |Company: Duta Integrasi Pratama Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Voice : (62) (21) 385-1600 FAXto : (62)(21)351-9241 key:000FAX |URL: http://www.dutaint.co.id Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/7 under Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1 Created : Thursday, October 12, 2000, 12:08:36 GMT +0700 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
