Re: alpine: date format

Show all headers | View raw

Ugh, that’s literally the *worst*.

I fully agree, ISO 8601 FTW.

But ISO 8601 would be too wide for the screen, so I’d
be okay with what pine does. (The lack of the year does
irritate me a little, but it’d still be better than what
alpine currently does.)

Hmm, could do something like “Jul 28” is current year
and “JUL 28” (uppercase) is not current year.


ObConfusion: alpine even lists some incoming mails as
“Tomorrow”. Yay, time travel! (Basically, it doesn’t take
the timezone of the Date header into account when calculating
that. This really violates a number of principles…)

Would be nice if the Date header were converted to localtime
by default, the user can always press ‘H’ to see the original.
