Which is what I was questioning in my previous reply. In the case of one of the emails, this is what the header looks like. But when imported, TB decided to override that and cause all manner of sorting issues by making it look like it was in fact received on the date of import (08/07) instead of the date of creation (08/96) X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: X-Imported: from Eudora by Eudora Rescue 0.7 Received: Eudora Rescue [0.7]; Tue, 13 Aug 1996 14:07:34 -0500 Date: Tue, 13 Aug 1996 14:07:34 -0500 To: *censored* From: *censored* Subject: *censored* X-Attachments: *censored* Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Note that even the tool (Eudora Rescue) which I used to export my email from EudoraPro to TB, handled the dates correctly. As did TB (Thunderbird) when I created the resulting mailbox. -- cheers, Indie_Dev ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.20 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
