[web2py] malformed date in email.send

[Alexey Nezhdanov]

Hi web2py community.

My users complained that emails (sent through mail.send)
arrive dated by Jan 1st, 1970.
Quick investigation showed that it is due to localized date:
Date: пт, 14 окт 2011 13:16:56 +0000

I fixed it by dropping hand-made line and using one from email.utils
instead (there is already an 'from email import *' line at the
beginning so i didn't have to add an import):
