Chime,

I am not sure what your issue is, but I think that you do not like the way 
that Alpine write dates. That is, however, configurable. I have chosen 
DATEISO for e.g. the listing in the directory and the line that you see 
below. I prefer the ISO date format.

Would that help you?


Yours,
Mats
