That shouldn't be a problem at all. A new message is marked by a line
that starts with "From ", and everything after the '-' can be parsed
with the system date libraries. Or ignored. Some messages won't have
a date on that line at all. For those that do, that date will mark
when Thunderbird downloaded the message, not the Date in the message,
so it's probably not what you want anyway.
Right. The line:
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 07:30:42 -0700
is the more exact one for chronological sorting.
