# Date command not working

 * Hi,
 * I have a question about the date command. I’ve setup postie and it’s working 
   a treat. The only issue I’ve got is that I’d like to specify the date command
   in the incoming mail. It works fine when the Preferred Text Type is set to Plain,
   but when the Preferred Text Type is set to HTML it doesn’t work. Yet when I put
   the comments command into an email with the Preferred Text Type set to HTML postie
   cuts out the comments command. So I’m assuming it is working fine with the comments
   command.
 * Thanks
    Dennis

 * Can you send a sample of the email that isn’t working to [postie-test@devzing.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-command-not-working/postie-test@devzing.com?output_format=md)
   so I can see what is happening.
