Could you tell me how to keep the original date when saving
attachments? The date seems to be always the current date and I can't
verify when the original file was created (I get homework from
students sometimes through email and I had a problem once receiving a
homework past the due date).
I do use Gnus 5.10 but not on this computer.
Thanks.

MIME has no notion of the date of an attachment. In principle you
could check the "Date:" header of the message, but this header can be
forged easily.

Bye, Reiner.

Is that true of just gnus or of any email client? Outlook for example?

Yes.

Yes, unless MS uses some non-standard extensions (e.g. X-... header).
