ok well thats closer to what im looking for, i dont want the current system
time, as i use exim as my only filtering progie(i know there are better, but i
dont have the time), and often re-feed old stuff to re-sort it. so i can extract
the date using substr but the date formats are not even the same from email to
email, i tried it after getting this, is there a way to send that extracted line
thru say perl code to modify it and use it to make my destination folder? if so
either how? or where do i start looking for info, ill be looking starting now,
incase its obvious
thanks for the replies
