MBOXSAVER as distributed (and modified by fix #6) doesn't save news
articles received by 2.10.2 properly.  It seems to be looking for
2.10.1 dates of the form

	Date: Mon, 2-Jan-84 12:31:18 EST

in order to convert them to ctime(3) dates of the form

	Mon Jan  2 12:31:18 1984

so that v7 mail (/usr/ucb/mail) can read it.  However, 2.10.2 dates
look like this:

	Date: 12 Dec 84 18:41:47 GMT

and the translation fails.  Does anyone have any suggestions
(especially on how to get the day of the week)?
