LOL!! I remember that one. The standard was never changed. heh

TB is wrong. There is absolutely _no_ question about it. None. You
can't just have EVERY SINGLE email program EVER written, do it one
way, then TB! does it another way and then say that TB! is doing it
the correct way.

Only a fool would look at emails from 1996, showing up in 2007 DEFAULT
view filters with a 'RECEIVED' date of 2007 and say its correct. Thats
just crazy.

Ritlabs is a small - very small - team of developers. Other email
programs (apart from Pocomail) are written and supported by large
corporations and/or groups. Eudora is probably one of the oldest
ubiquitous email readers on the planet. It existed before RFC and over
the years has gone through many - many - revisions. It still does it
right. RFC or not. I stopped using it because (1) they bloated it (2)
they ended up periodically charging for major upgrades which ended up
having bug fixes from previous versions. If you wanted a version just
for the bug fixes in a prior version which you already _paid_ for, you
had to to pay for the upgrade even if there is nothing in the upgrade
that you actually wanted. Thats why its sales dropped to the point
where they are practically given it away now with ad support.
