Maybe you use a different system or news client. If you know the
news readers from Microsoft (Outlook Express, Windows Mail, etc.),
there is an option, when you right-click a message, which is
Properties, then there's the details panel, where you can see
subject, email, date, etc. Thunderbird calls it the source code of
the message.

If you're asking for help with a particular program, you should mention
what the program is. It's inconsiderate to force people to guess or
assume.


Nobody else is asking for help with a particular program.

When a program uploads an email or Usenet message onto the Internet,
all programs use the same common format for the message date and time.

Your program may display the message date and time on your screen
in a different format. But when sent over the Internet, all programs
use the same common format so they can understand the message dates
from different programs.

The original poster's question is about this common format.
The question is not about a particular program; all programs use
the same common format.


Because you specifically asked

"Date section" of what? What are you talking about?

1010 told you how you can get to see this common format in your
particular program. The help with a particular program was for
you alone.

Nobody else was asking where to see the common format in their
particular programs. The OP was asking about the content of
the common format, not where to see it.

For anyone's interest, this is the official Internet specification
for that common format:
