Hello.
The user Mr. Russell Bell reported an error that seems to be in
the BSD Mail codebase since BSD 8.1[.1] from 1996.
The "O" is not really optional, but the next character seems to
become checked against the "0" (which must follow) anyway.
Instead a following digit needs to be consumed, and the "0" in the
template that follows needs to be consumed anyway.
I think the resulting snippet from MUA is somewhat correct:
case 'O':
if(!digitchar(dc) && dc != ' ')
goto jleave;
tc = *tp++; /* is "0"! */
dc = *date;
if(digitchar(dc))
++date;
break;
--steffen
