Re: [Nmh-workers] Date syntax
Would somebody please point me to a specification of the date syntax used by pick and sortm. Looks like it's ... according to the man page for pick ... RFC-822, plus a few extras. In the case of sortm, it's just the RFC-822 parser that we have. We're talking about the -before and -after switches to pick; the -date switch is just a pattern match. I remember some non-obvious things about -before and -after ... in some cases, if you saw things like yesterday, it's 24 hours previous to now, rather than the whole day of yesterday. But anyway, if it's not a special time as listed in the pick man page, it uses the RFC-822 date parser. --Ken ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
