                     12: \fISortm\fR sorts the specified messages in the named folder according
                     13: to the chronological order of the \*(lqDate:\*(rq field of each message.
                     14: Messages which are in the folder, but not specified by `msgs',
                     15: are moved to the end of the folder.
                     16: If a message does not exist (the folder has a gap),
                     17: \fIsortm\fR may fill the gap if convenient.
                     18: 
                     19: The `\-verbose' switch directs \fIsortm\fR to tell the user the general
                     20: actions that it is taking to place the folder in sorted order.
                     21: 
                     22: The `\-datefield\ field' switch tells \fIsortm\fR the name of the field
                     23: to use when making the date comparison.
                     24: If the user has a special field in each message,
                     25: such as \*(lqBB\-Posted:\*(rq or \*(lqDelivery\-Date:\*(rq,
                     26: then the `\-datefield' switch can be used to direct \fIsortm\fR which
                     27: field to examine.

                     45: If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
                     46: If the current message is moved, \fIsortm\fR will preserve its status
                     47: as current.
                     48: .Hi
                     49: Timezones used to be ignored when comparing dates:
                     50: they aren't any more.
                     51: .Bu
                     52: If \fIsortm\fR encounters a message without a date\-field,
                     53: or if the message has a date\-field that \fIsortm\fR cannot parse,
                     54: then \fIsortm\fR attempts to keep the message in the same relative
                     55: position.
                     56: This does not always work.
                     57: For instance, if the first message encountered lacks a date which can be
                     58: parsed,
                     59: then it will usually be placed at the end of the messages being sorted.
                     60: 
                     61: When \fIsortm\fR complains about a message which it can't temporarlly order,
                     62: it complains about the message number \fIprior\fR to sorting.
                     63: It should indicate what the message number will be \fIafter\fR sorting.
