Hello all,

In a different thread, someone wrote:

If you have a couple of minutes to spare, I propose a little test or
game:

1.- Select a message from a previous date in any of your folders.
2.- Select Tools/Export messages to.. and export the selected message to
.msg (or .eml) format.
3.- Now also export the same message to Unix mailbox.
4.- Now import both the .msg (.eml) and Unix mailbox to the same folder
as the original to end up with 3 copies of the same message.

Now the test:

Do a Specials/View Source (F9) for each of the 3 messages, the original
and the two imported ones:

  - Can you find Wallie in any of them? ;)
  - Can you find any difference whatsoever between any of the three?
  - Can you find any header line that has been added, deleted or
  modified by TB?

Now look at the 'Received Date' of the 3 messages:

  - The one imported from .msg should show the date/time of the import.
  - What's the Received date/time for the one imported from Unix
  mailbox? It is by any chance exactly equal to the one of the original
  message?

Conclusion: I'll leave it up to each of you what to conclude.
