-* fix-date.sh
+* 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.
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ 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 value
+ replacement 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.
HOW TO USE IT
- fix_date.sh <filename> [<filename>..]
+ First you have to create an action with the following command:
- Contact: wwp <wwp@claws-mail.org>
+ fix_date.sh %F
+ On main window's message list, select the messages to be fixed
+ and invoke the created action.

-* OOo2claws-mail.pl
+* popfile-link.sh
- WHAT IT DOES
- This perl script enables OpenOffice.org to send documents to
- Claws Mail as attachments.
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ Open selected messages in POPFile control center to edit their
+ status. Requires that POPFile is running and that the messages
+ have been processed by it (X-POPFile-Link: header is expected).
+ POPFile control center opens with the web browser set in
+ Claws Mail prefs.
