According to section 6.3.27 of the mutt manual (I'm running 1.2.5i here) the
variable `date_format' "controls the format of the date printed by the
``%d'' sequence in ``index_format''".

Further, section 6.3.73 says that the %d and %D sequences display the date
and time of a message "in the format specified by ``date_format''".

However, it would appear that `date_format' doesn't (quite rightly?) work
for all uses of the `index_format' sequences. For example, `date_format'
does affect the output of `attribution' (the documentation of which points
the reader to the documentation for `index_format').

Is this a documentation bug?
