Yes, that's a bit annoying. IMAP doesn't specify the date format on its own (AFAICS), but if references the standard email spec at several places. That defines the date format here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#section-5.1 But according to that spec it should by "17 Aug 2012" which doesn't work for me. I have to replace the spaces with hyphens. Well, in the end googling for "imap search examples" shows you the right syntax. BTW, I accidentally referenced an obsole spec. The current version is here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2060#section-6.4.4 Bye, Tassilo _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
