Thanks.  I've added that to my filters.  However, I don't think it would 
have caught the bad date in the spam I received.

Here is the string again:

Date: Mon, 09 Jun 03 16:58:30 =D6=D0=B9=FA=B1=EA=D7=BC=CA=B1=BC=E4

Notice that the date is expressed with "quoted-printable" characters.  That 
is not the way I originally posted it; it got converted somewhere by one of 
the email servers.  When I viewed the headers in IMail, the text after the 
time was various non-English characters and punctuation including things 
like fractions.  In other words, I think the line was just a bunch of 
random characters.  Normally, the offset from GMT would have appeared in 
this location.  I think that perhaps Mulberry crashed because it couldn't 
deal with this string.

Notice also that the date is correct but the year is in two-digit format.

I think an appropriate filter on the Date header would reject anything 
other than A-Z a-z 0-9 and "+", "-", ":", and ",".  Does anybody disagree? 
Does anybody know how to set that up?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Michael Keen
