I don't see how that matches the grammar provided by RFC 2822 ยง3.3:
date-time = [ day-of-week "," ] date FWS time [CFWS]
day-of-week = ([FWS] day-name) / obs-day-of-week
day-name = "Mon" / "Tue" / "Wed" / "Thu" /
"Fri" / "Sat" / "Sun"
date = day month year
year = 4*DIGIT / obs-year
month = (FWS month-name FWS) / obs-month
month-name = "Jan" / "Feb" / "Mar" / "Apr" /
"May" / "Jun" / "Jul" / "Aug" /
"Sep" / "Oct" / "Nov" / "Dec"
day = ([FWS] 1*2DIGIT) / obs-day
time = time-of-day FWS zone
time-of-day = hour ":" minute [ ":" second ]
hour = 2DIGIT / obs-hour
minute = 2DIGIT / obs-minute
second = 2DIGIT / obs-second
zone = (( "+" / "-" ) 4DIGIT) / obs-zone
which at the very least differs from the example above in that if a
day of the week is specified, it must be followed by a comma.

Here is an example mbox that mutt recognizes:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jun 23 02:56:55 2000
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Foo
Body.
And mutt displays this:
q:Quit d:Del u:Undel s:Save m:Mail r:Re
1 N Jun 22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0.1K) Foo
---Mutt: /tmp/tmp.mbox [Msgs:1 New:1 0.1K]--
However when converted to an RFC2822 time, as emitted by GNU date -d
"Fri Jun 23 02:56:55 2000" --rfc-2822:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 23 Jun 2000 02:56:55 +1000

Mutt displays this:

---Mutt: /tmp/tmp.mbox [Msgs:0 0.1K]---(thre
This is what I call "mutt reporting an empty mailbox".

I'm glad for you, but that doesn't help me.
