% follow instructions in the manual for regular expressions.  Here's

% but that doesn't work.  What format does the date that I enter

I guess the manual could perhaps use a little clarification, since the []
don't belong and the date should be in dd/mm/yyyy format.  Hey, wanna fix
it and submit the patch? :-)


% have to be in?

Here's my most recent date-limiting muttrc, generated by my filtering
software, as an example:

  source /xtra/home/davidtg/.mutt/muttrc
  push "l ~N ~r 18/08/2000-\n"

Note that I push, so I need the newline, but you should be able to limit
on

  ~d <05/07/2000

just fine, I think.
