I've got a scan format that lists the time if less than 24 hours, the
weekday if less than a week and the date otherwise (based I think on
one in the O'Reilly book). The problem also appears with the scan.mailx
format file too.
Talking about date dates, I submitted a patch with the subject
``y2k'' patch
in late January that deals with broken MUAs - can that one be included
too? I can resend that message if necessary.
Simon.
