From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: wmorgan-sup@masanjin.net (William Morgan) Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:22:56 -0700 Subject: [sup-talk] Introduction, thanks, and a small patch In-Reply-To: <1250331013-sup-3083@xps> References: <20090815041446.GA1249@yoom.home.cworth.org> <1250331013-sup-3083@xps> Message-ID: <1250456575-sup-4326@masanjin.net> Reformatted excerpts from Igor Brkic's message of 2009-08-15: > Solution that worked for me is to comment out line "Time.parse time, > 0" in mbox.rb file. This is not good solution, more like a hack, but > for some reason it works for me. Try it out. I've think I've fixed this in master. Thanks for your log; that was helpful. The problem was that Sup was producing the date component of the From_ lines in the sent mail mbox using the current locale, and later on wouldn't necessarily recognize that as a date. (Particularly for people with "funny locales".) You will have to manually edit your ~/.sup/sent.mbox file and change all the From_ line dates that are not in UTC to UTC. If there are just a couple, you should be able to copy and paste from the Date: header a few lines below. Removing the Time.parse line you mention will work, but it has the side effect of potentially splitting mbox files in mid-message. E.g. if you ever have a line of text like "From xxx yyy\n", Sup will consider that a message delimiter. This is fallout from the great mbox From_ line misdesign of 1972. Please let me know if it works for you. -- William
