a dumb problem
Here's a dumb problem which I hope that someone will be able to help with. For reasons which I won't go into, I temporarily changed my system date ahead 3 weeks. Dumb me...I forgot to change it back before I opened TB and downloaded about 20 messages. I usually sort my folders by received date, and so this really screws up my display and sorting. Is there any way, either with TB, or with other software, that I could changed the received date on those 20 messages (which I have moved into a special folder I created)? Thanks in advance for your help in solving this problem! With peace, Henry -- Henry L. Lefkowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] When all that you feel are sharp teeth of an eel, that's a moray.

IIRC if you export to Unix Mailbox type and re-import, I believe Thomas is correct in that the date received is the date of import.
