This would run an external program (wscript //B checkdate.vbs %1) which would modify the contents of the file %1 to correct the datestamp. My idea is that, with the datestamp corrected, my existing battery of sorting office rules would shuffle the message to the correct folder. Is this approach not valid (for example, because TB doesn't re-import the file specified by the %1 parameter)?
