Summary: poor date parsing trips archiving

Initial Comment:
With Mail 2.1.2, running the arch script produced some 
bizarre output: messages whose date could not be 
parsed were assumed to be of the current date. 
 
I was able to cure the problem simply by updating 
mailman/pythonlib/email/_parseaddr.py to the most 
recent version from the python CVS.

thoover, you are mistaken - the version I fetched from the 
python CVS parses such dates just fine.  Also you said: 
_parseaddr.py on your system - I am not sure what that means 
- I was not refering to the version in your python installation - 
that one is probably just fine - I was talking about the one in 
the mailman installation - that's the one which is outdated. 
 
Cheers,

I checked, and the _parseaddr.py on my system is identical
to the latest in CVS...I still have the problem.  The arch
script won't parse dates in the format of:

Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 16:32:00 -0600

so it therefore converts the date to the current date:

Date: Fri Feb 20 09:43:05 2004

I wanted to change my local backup script to backup only the
*.mbox files (I would then recreate the html files using
'arch' in the event of a crash, etc), but for now I'm still
backing up everything.
