 | I have been trying to change the date_format in .muttrc
but it doesn't seem to be taking.
In the index I get for the header line of each message:
dd-mm-yy like 19-03-02
and in the actual email something like
Tue, 19 Mar 2002 04:15
I've tried to change it in various ways according to man strftime
but none of them change what I see when mutt restarts..
Is "date_format" the wrong setting to change?
# set date_format="!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z" # default
according to /usr/doc/mutt/manual.txt
# set date_format="%A, %e %B %Y at %k:%M:%S %Z" # tried this too but
no luck
set date_format="%A, %D at %k:%M:%S %Z" # what I use in
..muttrc
# aA abbr, full weekday name
# bB abbr, full month name
# cC pref date/time for locale, century as 2 digit number
# dD Day of month as decimal nr, %m/%d/%y for Americans
Thanks,
Larry Alkoff

This is from your headers:
X-No-Archive: yes
If you don't think that your posts are valuable enough to
archive, then I don't think they are valuable enough to even
bother reading.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I found and cancelled the no archive.

you should get your own account -
or adjust your setup.

The line with the comment "tried this too but ..."
is _not_ commented out in ~/.muttrc.

My understanding is that the %D used date_format would be used when
viewing messages. The Mutt manual says that %D will set an American
style date format of mm-dd-yy. All my messages are in the format
dd-mm-yy instead of mm-dd-yy.
Say does this refer only to _messages_sent_by_me_ ?
That would explain a lot.
