In reply to <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> :

HO> TB! is importing eMail "as-is". Please inform you before making
HO> statements that are wrong. The date used in "Received" column is not
HO> extracted from the eMails, but is the date TB! received the eMail, and
HO> this by any vector you want: POP3, IMAP, .MSG or UNIX Mailbox on
HO> USB-stick, DVD, download....
HO> This info is not stored in the headers of the eMails. And this
HO> behaviour is good. Otherwise one will entirely depend of correct
HO> configuration of time and timezones of sender and mailservers.

HO> Anyway, if _you_ need an other behaviour, _you_ can obtain this
HO> behaviour by using correctly the graphical interface of TB!.

>> So when you import your email, the received and created field will be
>> identical since they decided that they'd go an complicate and confuse
>> things by adding a header that is clearly _not_ required.

HO> TB! adds _no_ header. Please really inform you before speaking. Press
HO> F9 to visualize the complete source of each message in TB!

>> Every email program has the subject, sender, recipient, data, size and
>> then you have additional stuff like attachments and whatnot.

>> So when my email from 1996 has a received 'date' of 1996 and then I

>> accurate data, its just wrong.

HO> Do not mix up "received" and "created"
HO>               "export" and "import"

HO> If you are interested to sort your eMails in the way it is comfortable
HO> for you, you can do it. If you do not want to do it yourself, you can
HO> try that other will do it for you. But I am not certain that they will
HO> do it, as many other people will be offended by the way _you_ prefer
HO> the sorting.

HO> The fact that TB! is managing himself the dates of reception is an
HO> important feature for _me_.

HO> This are my last 2 cents on this topic.

And  you  may  very  well  write  in your _very_ famous blog that they
changed   it  blah  blah blah and that your advice is to "NOT" use TB,
etc, etc...
