    I’ve noticed that emails sent by my WP system to me (as admin) every time either a new comment is entered on the site or if someone tries to use the ‘contact’ form have completely blank time/date entries on them.

    Is there some configuration option I’m missing here? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Any ideas or recommendations folks?

    Not sure what date/time is blank. The body of an email regarding a comment makes no reference to a date and time, at least that I see.

    Can’t say much about your contact form plugin…

    It’s not the body of the email, but the header information of the email itself. For example…

    An email received from my WP blog (when someone posts a comment) will have the following information in the header:-

    Subject: text of subject
    From: name/email address of sender
    Size: kb size of email
    Date/Time: [This is always blank, no text or numbers at all]

    So emails I receive from anywhere else always have a date/timestamp on them, but emails from my WP blog have a blank date/timestamp.

    Make any sense?

    If I hit reply on an email received from WordPress I see Sent: with date and time.

    Guess you could try this plugin and see if that makes a diff.

    Michael – when you’re viewing the list of mails (e.g. the one line summary of received mails which usually lists subject, sender, time etc.) … does it show a time/date stamp as header?

    I’ll check out that plugin as well, but I thought the email notification was supposed to be standard WP functionality.

    Yes, if I’m looking in the right place, the date is listed (looking at the email source).

    Michael – what I’m trying to say (but not doing a decent job of it) is that when I go into my webmail and it shows a summary of all the mails in my inbox, the one line per email description items (such as sender, description, time/date etc.) are all fine with the exception of any emails I get from my site via WordPress.

    For any mails from my site, the time/date is blank which means the mails are always hidden away down the bottom of the list (because most people like to view the most recent mails first, based on time/datestamp).

    I only get this problem with mails sent to me via wordpress.

    I have the same problem…
    the date is missing from the mail header…
    only for the mail sent by WordPress….
