Check the raw mail message. I would bet that all that extra stuff is in the message, and technically, anything in ()'s is a comment (RFC 822). By default, mhonarc extracts the date from the Received header field, but you can control that via the DATEFIELDS resource (see the Examples sections of the DATEFIELDS resource page for the reason Received is used by default). --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
