What has that got to do with TB! messing about with the RECEIVED dates of emails when in fact we don't really care about it, since thats what the CREATED date is for? By your example.... - Your aunt sends you a postcard in 1996. You know this because you've already _seen_ this archaic artifact. - You move to a new house. - On that day, you once again get an email from your dear ol' aunt ....only to find that, even though it says (by the date) that she wrote it in 1996, the postal office, decides to send you another one. As if the original was lost. Only this time, you see the original 1996 stamp and near (or on top of) that, you see the postal service's stamp for the day you moved to your new house. The fact that we're even debating the merits of an email program importing emails incorrectly and creating not only unwanted Deja Vu but also sorting problems, is astonishing to me. Look, if I wrote an email in 1996 and its in my inbox. I don't want it showing up in my DEFAULT filter that CLEARLY says YESTERDAY when I know for a FACT that the email was written in 1996 and has _no_ business being in that filter. *sheesh* -- cheers, Indie_Dev ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.21 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
