I have implemented a new feature in hypermail to include the META Date tag
compatible with the Dublin Core standard (which specifies the format
YYYY-MM-DD), both by default and as a macro (%D) usable in message header
files. This date is useful for search engines, such as the newly released
ht://Dig 3.1.6, which make use of this META tag, if it exists, to
determine the age of the file instead of the modification date. Given the
update that happens to message files when a new message comes in, this
seems like a useful patch to implement accurate date-specific searches on
your archive.
Comments, anyone?
