Sorry to have been tardy with samples; I've been offline all afternoon. I now see what's happening, though I don't have a solution yet. The problem is that the Unix message file exported by my former MUA (Forte Agent v1.8) does not include an actual 'Date:' header at all _if_ the message was one that originated with Agent. For example, here is an actual header from a message sent by me using Agent: >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 29 15:58:39 2002 From: Dave Goodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [stripped for privacy] Subject: Re: Congratulations Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 Note that the customary Unix 'From' line, including the timestamp, starts the message, but there is no formal 'Date:' header. By contrast, here is a header from a message sent by me using TB!: >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 8 11:30:36 2002 Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 11:30:36 -0500 From: Dave Goodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: The Bat!

All other folders import perfectly. Well, I'll have to consult the authorities in an Agent forum. Still, any thoughts would be welcome. -- Dave Goodman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.53d on Windows 98 -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
