+ WHAT IT DOES
+ Add a 'Date:' header to the selected email(s) when such header

+ 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
+ First you have to create an action with the following command:
+
+ fix_date.sh %F
+
+ On main window's message list, select the messages to be fixed
+ and invoke the created action.

+* thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl
+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+ This perl script converts Thunderbird filtering rules into Claws Mail
+ filtering rules. It can be run several times, once for each filter
+ configuration file in Thunderbird.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+ The script takes 3 arguments:
+
+ --tbird-file=PATH TO FILE The full path to the file to be converted
+ --mailbox-name=NAME The name of the Claws Mail mailbox
+ --account-name=NAME The name of the account to be used (optional)
+
+ --tbird-file must point to the Thunderbird filter file (msgFilterRules.dat)
+ that you want to convert, it must contain the full path to the file.
+ --mailbox-name should be given the name of your mailbox in Claws Mail, e.g.
+ if the top-level folder is 'Mailbox (MH)' then this option should be
+ 'Mailbox'.
+ --account-name is optional, only needed if you are creating account-specific
+ rules. This is the name of your account in Claws Mail, which should
+ correspond to an account that you had in Thunderbird, e.g. the acount whose
+ rules you are converting.
+
+ This script presumes that your folder hierarchy in Claws Mail matches the
+ one that you had in Thunderbird. If you used the tbird2claws.py script to
+ convert your Thunderbird mailbox, then the folder hierarchy should match.
+
+ If the Claws Mail filtering configuration file (matcherrc) does not exist,
+ the script will create it; if it does exist, the newly converted rules will
+ be appended to it.
