Some clients show replaced message with current timestamp about imap-attachment-extractor HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, I think I have the solution to this issue, but haven't vompleted the code change.

In line 582 I find the call to imap.append. The third parameter is meant to be date/time but is called with an empty value (I assume current date/time is added somewhere automatically).
I tried to put imaplib.Time2Internaldat(XXXXX) in there. Using the epoch timestamp (hardcoded for the test) as a number here solved the problem.
I wasn't sure where to take the date from programmatically. But the function Time2Internaldat seems to be pretty flexible to take strings or epoch. Also not sure about any timezone handling. Maybe you could complete this?

Thank you

Hi,

I don't have access to a macOS to test any solution, and in Thunderbird the replacement mail appears at the correct date. But if your solution is easy enough to implement I could do a patch, I'll look if I can find the correct date in the source email.

I added the mail date parameter to imap.append, by using the local timezone. It should be ok.

Thank you, that is great. I tested one example and it worked!

This tool is so well equipped with options - but without maintaining te date I could not use it.

Thank you!!
