2.2.3.2.2 Sent time

  • Article

To set the value of the PidTagClientSubmitTime property ([MS-OXOMSG] section 2.2.3.11), clients MUST set the Date header value, as specified in [RFC2822].

MIME readers set the value of the PidTagClientSubmitTime property to the value of the Date header, converted to UTC. Full precision of the Date header value, including seconds, MUST be preserved. If the Date header is missing or contains an invalid value, MIME readers set the value of the PidTagClientSubmitTime property to the current UTC time.

When processing TNEF messages, MIME readers use a Date header value specified in a MIME message in preference to an attDateSent attribute, as specified in [MS-OXTNEF] section 2.1.3.3.4, or the value of the PidTagClientSubmitTime property specified in a TNEF message.
