* tb2claws-mail
* fix-date.sh
WHAT IT DOES
- It will replace the Date: value w/ the one picked up from
- more recent Received: field if this field resides in one
- line. Otherwise, it will take the file modification time
- (using a RFC 2822-compliant form). If no X-Original-Date already
- exist, the former Date value will be set in such field.
-
+ Add a 'Date:' header to the selected email(s) when such header is
+ missing. The correct date is guessed from other headers that contain
+ timestamp information (preferred: Fetchinfo header if found) or from
+ the file or system date as a fallback. The order or preference for the
+ date valuereplacement can be changed by editing the script.
+ This script can be used to fix messages that show non RFC-compliant
+ Date headers as well.
+ X-Original-Date is always added too if not already existing (if so,
+ it's left untouched), to keep track of the original value if any.
+ An existing Date: header is not overwritten unless you use the --force
+ switch.
+ Non RFC-compliant dates can be overwritten using the --rfc switch. Use
+ --strict to use strict RFC matching patterns for date values in other
+ headers.
