I'm seeing some odd behaviour. I've one email in +inbox where I've
broken Date:.
$ p -after '01 Jan 2040'
pick: unable to parse date field in message 6608, matching...
1 hit
$ slp
6608+ 01-00 me test — =
Good, so that worked. The broken one without a date is treated as
matching.
$ p -before '01 Jan 1960'
pick: unable to parse date field in message 6608, matching...
6077 hits
$
Again, it matched, but why did every other email get treated as being so
old?
Cheers, Ralph.
