Attached is b1), then. I've added some sanity checking for the date field so it should be pretty robust. With this implemented, it means that mailme expects bounce.pl (or equivalent) to set the x-archive-with-date field intelligently, and doesn't do any second guessing, which is how I think it should be. If it doesn't find x-archive-with-date, it looks for Received:, and if that's not set it falls over to Date:, which is the way Jeff's rcfile deals with dates too, so is consistent. So now mailme and rcfile agree that, if you're importing, you HAVE to set an intelligent x-archive-with-date field; else, they both use Received:, which goes by the clock on Jeff's server. I won't hack bounce.pl for fear of doing wrong, but yes I'm pretty sure I agree now that it should set x-archive-with-date from the original Recieved: fields if possible. Paul
