It should read something like: Date: 11 Feb 2008 15:42:09 CET A more complete specification for the date syntax can be found in RFC 2822 (the Internet message format standard). In summary, it allows for: * optional day-of-the-week (3 character) followed by a comma * 1 or 2 digit day number * 3 character month name * 4 digit year (although it allows for the obsolete 2 digit year form) * 2 digits each of hour, minute and seconds, separated by ":" * Timezone expressed as + or - followed by 4 digits (although it allows for a range of obsolete codes including 3 character codes like CET) What it doesn't permit is the "-" between the date elements that you have identified above. >> If the problem is an incorrect format, you can export the file to a >> unix mailbox format, edit the format to correct it and then re-import >> the message.
