What is your design? Are you trying to extract the date from email headers, or are you inserting that string in the body.

Please don't expect any emails from anyone on Daniweb, the rules say that everything should stay on the board.

ya..,i have to extract the date from email headers.

Ok, provided you have the headers, I'd consider matching the date using a Regular Expression... I'd have to look up the exact syntax for the regular expression yet, but you should be able to match and extract the date.
