[QUOTE="stellman, post: 1120379, member: 53234"] When I download a file from, say, Thunderbird to a local folder on my Mac Pro or MacBook, and then use Finder to examine the time and date of creation and modification, Finder shows the time and date that I downloaded the file (usually the current time and date if I look at it immediately) and not the actual time and date the file was created. This is a different behavior from Windows Explorer on a PC, where the original creation date is carried along with the downloaded file. Having a correct time stamp is very important to me, especially for comparing different versions of a given document. Is there a way to capture the correct file creation date? [/QUOTE]
