Yes, I may fake up Date: headers if it comes to that. Just for the sake of discussion, though, there seem to be two issues here: 1) Why is Agent not writing a Date: header in the Unix message format file of 'sent' messages? And is this a legitimate file format? These are probably not appropriate topics for this forum, and I'll purse them elsewhere. 2) Pehaps I shouldn't fault TB! for having problems with an imported file with no Date: header. But what it does is curious, to say the least. TB! _does_ recognize the timestamp in the Unix message separator, i.e., the From line with timestamp which is the first line of every Unix message. The strangeness is that, in the message-list, it uses that timestamp as the 'received' time, and uses the current time as the 'created' time, rather than the other way around. A further strangeness is that TB! then displays "Created Sat, 30 Dec 1899 00:00:00 ()" in the headers immediately above the message-view. In passing, I note that Forte Agent handles this sort of import correctly. If messages in a Unix format file have no Date: header, it uses the timestamp from the separator line as the created time/date. -- 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
