Package: mutt Version: 1.5.18-4 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/man/man5/mbox.5.gz
The mbox(5) manpage says The date [if the From_ line] is expected to be date-time as defined in RFC2822 3.3. Yet actually attempting to use this format results in mutt reporting an empty mailbox. The example given in the manpage itself is not in RFC2822 format, as date(1) shows: $ date -d 'Fri Jun 23 02:56:55 2000' --rfc-2822 Fri, 23 Jun 2000 02:56:55 +1000 The good folk of Freenode's #mutt had this to say: fmg> the date in From_ is always asctime format fmg> debian man page is misleading you, take: http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html -- Package-specific info: Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Michael R.
