When you save or move a msg from one directory to another does not change the delivery date. > Doesn't matter if it is only viewed with a threaded reader like mutt. > But in case other tools are used, like text searches, I'd prefer to keep > the "proper order". I guess "proper order" is undefined. I sort by thread on rec'd time-date and nothing changes on moving or saving except the mbox file time. The msg is an entity within the mbox file, not a stand-a-lone file. Guess I fail to understand your needs or you fail to understand mbox. I use mairix to find and present and it presents in a directory sorted as I demand, thread by date-time. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
