Message-ID: <3630@utzoo.UUCP> Date: Mon, 12-Mar-84 20:03:40 EST Article-I.D.: utzoo.3630 Posted: Mon Mar 12 20:03:40 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 12-Mar-84 20:03:40 EST References: <148@west44.UUCP> Organization: U of Toronto Zoology Lines: 9 Anyone whose software assumes that there is some sort of "standard" format for the date in a "From " header is in for trouble. The V7 mailer and most of its descendants generate something which is more or less predictable, but there are other mailers in use that generate total weirdness in there. Making assumptions about the format of the date is unwise. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
