I read about Actions in the FAQ and in the user manual then downloaded the fix missing date script, claws-mail-fix_date.tar.gz, onto my N800. I'm not sure what to do next. How do I get the fix_date.sh script out of the file that I downloaded? I tried opening the downloaded file thinking that maybe it was self-extracting but I don't appear to have any applications that will open it. Also, ultimately where on my N800 will the fix_date.sh need to live?

Regarding the content of the date field, I took a close look at the header date as it appears on e-mails that I open using claws. There certainly is a difference between the date format on "good" emails vs "bad" emails; the "good" emails have dates that conform to the standard whereas the "bad" emails do not. The format difference is not visible, i.e., all dates look properly formatted when viewing my email using the Notes client either on our LAN or using iNotes (web access). I have shared this with our Notes admin who will do some digging on the IBM Lotus Notes knowledgebase to see if there are any relevant documents on IMAP and date formats.

Any help on the next steps for the fix_date script, would be appreciated . I'm trying to get this squared away before I take the N800 on its first trip.

Thanks.
