However, this still will not work completely; it is not strict enough. Is there any particular reason that you don't want to use a regex? Using the regex allows the function to make sure the internal date is in an imap date format (date-time = DQUOTE date-day-fixed "-" date-month "-" date-year SP time SP zone DQUOTE). We're not trying to convert invalid dates into the correct format. Thanks, Nick
