posrie's "date:" parameter in email body

update: the above works.

Whatever Postie is using to parse the value specified for date: seems to understand “now” (probably PHP’s strtotime function).

Another option would be to use the postie_post_before filter to set the date, that way you wouldn’t have to remember to set the date tag in the email.

…I don’t know how to use a filter though. (I do have a plugin installed where I can add custom code.)

See https://postieplugin.com/postie_post_before/ for examples.
