in fact, there are some other considerations, which none of you two
seems to figure out.

the Date: field, as per the respective RFC, has a well-defined format.

however, a lot of mail senders (mostly those web-based, which are
written by people that follow Roelof's logicâ„¢), do dumbly add it in
human-readable (by 'standard' means of php, perl, java, .net or whatever
backend engine used by the site). and, to make things worse, when that
indian-developed engine is deployed on the environment of a
language-purist admin in some country like France... brrr... :)

thebat does a lot of effort to guess these formats. obviously, this can
never get good enough, as long as there are developers that consider
that email standards  appeared only at that very moment when THEY got
their hands on these things.

no, Roelof, that logicâ„¢ of yours (better said, philosophy, isn't it?)
sucks baaadly.
