You mean this? http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.6 > The second example demonstrates what Mutt requires. > > Does your mbox format file show this this format? I did this on the archive on master: grep "From " debian-68k.200308 And I get something like this: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 22 02:04:32 2003 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 22 05:09:37 2003 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 22 18:24:52 2003 So I think you found a bug, in the mutt documentation. man mbox The date is expected to be formatted according to the following syntax (represented in the augmented Backus-Naur formalism used by RFC 822): [...] Example: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jun 23 02:56:55 2000 The date format you where trying is the output of 822-date: Fri, 22 Aug 2003 20:27:14 -0400 which is ie in debian changelogs. It seems the mbox format uses date instead: Fri Aug 22 20:27:14 EDT 2003 Christian
