How to prefix with the EML file's Date header field?

Postby chrisjj » Mon Mar 31, 2025 7:32 pm

Please?

Help says "The Item Date is the primary date of interest for an item" but "Item Date" does not equal Date. It might be timezone-converted Date and/or Received.

I do need Date itself, ideally with custom format.

Thanks.

What does the Windows File Property -> Details tab show for the EML file? Bulk Rename will match that.

I find no such command, but "Show List of File Properties" shows a date that's timezone-converted.

Yup. But that's not Date:. I do need Date itself, ideally with custom format.

Thanks.

You can adapt the date with BRU javascript, can you send a sample file to support via email? thanks
