In my understanding of email, that's not the "envelope"...which is the SMTP commands which "introduce" the messge. The From line (no :, as you and Mark are both correctly saying) is an artifact of the mbox storage format. (The blank line preceding it and the >From line form a message separator in mbox format.) It's probably the best date available as long as Mailman stays with mbox, given that users don't keep their clocks sensible, and most server operators do. That doesn't help with mailman lists run on machines whose operators don't manage the clocks sensibly, but that's their problem. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
