I think an mtime test is not the same as "date received" test. You may have created the folder by recursive copy from somewhere else, just to take the most obvious problem. Some of us also love mutt's ability to modify messages after they're delivered (the E, & and # keys). I think for a true date received test, you have to look at the timestamp part of the filename. Or look at the message headers, but this would be much slower. -- Ian
