Package: mutt Version: 1.5.17+20080114-1~bpo40+1 Severity: minor
Hi, I often happen to want to catch up with a mailing list, and thus download an archive, which I then subsequently merge into the current mailbox for that list. Unfortunately, most mails, as archived by Mailman's Pipermail at least, have this date format (example): Wed Jan 10 12:35:12 2007 while most mails which arrive through my mail server have this date format: Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:05:20 +0200 Mutt can understand either of which fine if mails in one mailbox have only one of these formats, but displays mails' dates in the index quite incorrectly when both formats are mixed in one mailbox. In that case, mails with the better format get their date shown correctly in the index, but mails with the older format are displayed as being uniformly from "Jan 01". Threading and sorting seems to be unaffected, so it looks like purely being a UI problem. It would be nice if mutt could either re-format the date headers on saving the mails to a known-good format, or understand whatever date format is present for all mails it reads, regardless of their origin, and even better if mutt could be instructed to behave either way.
