How do I print the email date in the header or footer of the page?
DG
How do I print the email date (not the date of the printing, but the date
the email was sent) in the header or footer of the page?
For example: the email was sent on July 7, 2001. When I print it out, the
header or footer would say "July 7, 2001". (This is similar to the way
Outlook Express prints emails.)
I'm using Eudora 7.0.1.0.
Thanks for the help.

Try:
<X-Eudora-Option:PrintHeaders=1>

Unfortunately, the printing of the headers and footers is already "on" by
default. The problem is that the headers/footers do not print the email
date. They print the name, page number, receiving email address, and the
date printed; but not the date received. I need it to print the date
received.
Thanks for giving it a try.

Nothing in the email file you print /contains/ the date received.
Eudora doesn't time-stamp the email when received
(understandable, can you imagine the average evil hacker's glee
at having an email program to exploit that can edit incoming
emails?).
The only thing you can do is to print out the full headers when
you print an email. That will give you on the printed email the
originator's date, the dates/times it passed through the path of
servers, and the date/time received by your server.
Does *any* email client keep individual emails in separate files.
That is the only way I can think of to time stamp, by the back
door, the date/time of receipt.

Certainly not what the OP is looking for, but Mailwasher has an option
to show time and date, both sent and received. However there is no
print option.

I just tried printing an e-mail received three plus years ago.
It does not print the date printed. It prints the date and time of
the e-mail (not the date and time received, which is not part of the
e-mail or header).

received. So shouldn't this information be accessable for printing?

I've found that you must do two things to get the send/receive date printed
in the header:
1) disable the microsoft viewer
2) open (double click) on the email in the preview window (if the email
isn't completely open, it will not print the send/receive date in the
header).
It would be nice not to have to open every email just to get print this
info. Is there any way to get this info printed when viewing from the
preview windows?
Again, thanks for the help Erik.

Opera not only stores each message in a file, it puts those files in
subdirectories divided by date. Today's mail for the first account would
go in ....\mail\store\acount1\2006\11\1 for example.
Eudora does actually timestamp messages when they're received though. You
just can't see that timestamp. If you look at the mbx file, the line at
the beginning of each message looks something like this:
From ???@??? Thu Nov 1 12:22:23 2006. That timestamp is the time the
message as processed.

Opera (v9) may be guided by the sender's "Date" header, however,
whenever that is supplied, and otherwise when retrieved by Opera;
samples from newsfeeds (from which I tried to figure this out),
and confirmation or additional info from Tim Altman of Opera:

Did the OP ever explain exactly what date/time he is seeking?
(a) According to sender's own computer when transmitted?
(b) At the sender's SMTP server when they saw it?
(c) Received into his POP mailbox (at his POP server)?
(d) Downloaded to his Eudora?
(a) is generally what "Date:" headers indicate.
(b) and (c) may be found in "Received:" headers,
displayable by "Blah blah" button.
(d) is what's found as Katrina has just said,
and of course it's per his own computer's calendar/clock
For many purposes, however, the generally small differences
don't matter, and if something other than the date printed appears,
it will suffice; however, our local telephone company is also
in the ISP business, and we've caught them delaying up to ten days
between (b) and (c) [actually between (b) and our external MX service],
which also brought our help desk a big storm of calls
["where the heck is my mail?"], requiring us to document all this
so that our management would know which end was at fault :)
