With the message below my signature as "~/Mail/test/1" the date is not
parsed properly. Using a scan format that prints the date in DD/MM/YY
format gives:
% scan +test 1
1 29/11/01 somebody@somehwer test message<<random text >>
If the 0000 in the Date: line is changed to +0000 then scan prints the
correct date. I'm using a Linux 2.2 system (RH 6.2 on a Pentium 90),
with nmh-1.0.3:
% scan -v
scan -- nmh-1.0.3 [compiled on porky.devel.redhat.com at Tue Feb 29 15:55:42 EST 2000]
I see the same problem with mh-6.8.4.
I originally noticed the problem because 'sortm' produced some weird
ordering, including the test message below, so I imagine that all the
date-parsing programs, not just scan, have the same problem.
I looked at the ChangeLog for nmh-1.0.4 but couldn't tell whether this
problem had been fixed (though another problem that I noticed, with
MUAs that give only two-digit years, looks like it was fixed).
