Is there a tool in alpine or elsewhere that would allow me to read the
date and time stamp on a file attached to an email message? Is there a
date and time stamp separate from that of the message?
If I save the attachment locally, it gets the date and time stamp of a
newly created file.

As far as I know there is no date and time stamp on an attachment (which
I presume is what you mean). It is simply the contents of the attachment
Ie, the OS timestamp ( which of course depends on which OS the sender
happens to use) does not get transfered. Now some files have an
internal creation time stamp, done by the software that created the
file, and that should still be there. But you would have to state what
files you have been sent.

Just wondering if there were a way to use it for version control. Thanks.

If timestamp is important to you, send the files archived (zip,
whatever). I just tested with tar.gz, it has timestamps.
