After running "./hypetombox.pl -a -d 1997-Aug/ -m mbox.mbox" all you need
to do is convert the following lines:
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Bogus date
Date: 1 Aug 1997 00:00:56 +0200

to

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Fri Aug 1 00:00:56 1997
Date: 1 Aug 1997 00:00:56 +0200

No idea how to do it, so if somebody beats me in time to do it (or finds
an other solution) please don't hesitate to give the solution.

What I will be working on is not so much a re-write of the script. because
I can't do perl, but a (very ugly) bash aproach to edit the dates,
although at this mment I have no idea how to do changes on a previous line
or how to get the say of the week.

sed -e "s/Bogus date/Fri Jun  9 01:55:45 2006/g" mbox.mbox > 3.mbox
That seems to work at least, although it is the wrong dat (DUH). So proof
of concept is given.
