 |
|
I wonder what means the name of the file like:
1119011035.98783.xxx.xxxx,S=1596:2,S
Can I have the date from this name of the file or I need to read the file
for that? Someone have doc about it? |

The ":2,S" part has a specific meaning. See
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html, section "What can I put in info?", where
it explains that the "S:" means the message has been "seen" by an MUA.
The rest has no meaning -- it is an opaque token, and you explicitly are /not/
supposed to try to extract meaning from it. See the first paragraph of "How
are unique names created?" in the above document, where it says:
Unless you're writing messages to a maildir, the format of a unique name is
none of your business. A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a
colon (or slash) and doesn't start with a dot. Do not try to extract
information from unique names.

Maybe not. Depends by which "date" you're talking about. If you want the
time the message was created by its author, you'll need to parse the message
for it's Date: header. If you want to find out when it was delivered, try
reading `man stat`. |
