Thats still not logical. If you're going to purge emails, there are lots of criteria which you can use, without having to resort to an additional - and improperly handled - header information. Yesterday, in this thread, I posted one of the emails from 1996 which has been exported from EudoraPro format to TB by a third party program. Here it is again. As you can see from line 4, the program did in fact insert a value in the header and which had no effect whatsoever on how Thunderbird handled the aging and sorting of my email. So, if I wanted to purge emails (e.g. all emails between 1996-1997) I can still do that in Thunderbird without requiring it messing with the 'received' date of my email during import. > 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 -- cheers, Indie_Dev ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.20 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
