# Fix emails with bad timestamps in a maildir
# This script reads the date from the email header and set its UNIX timestamp and renames it with the proper date
# e.g. this:
# dec.  05  2017 1512499812.M908995P21566.ip-111-11-11-11,S=16331,W=16746:2,S
# becomes that (the email Date header is "Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:07:21 +0100"):
# oct.  22  2013 1382432841.M908995P21566.ip-111-11-11-11,S=16331,W=16746:2,S
