sendemail turns dates into 0NaN-NaN-NaN NaN:NaN:NaN

If I enter "*|timechart count by host", my search returns _times like this: "2014-01-14 09:00:00".

If I enter "*|timechart count by host|sendemail ...", all the _times become "0NaN-NaN-NaN NaN:NaN:NaN".

Why is this happening?

Hello,
you need to format the times before you send the mail.

timechart ...|eval Time=strftime(_time,"%Y/%m/%d %T")|table Time,field1,field2

Doesn't help. In fact, adding fieldformat _time=... on its own is enough to turn _time into 0NaN-NaN-NaN NaN:NaN:NaN, even without the sendmail. 😕
