Hi, Please see the following page. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2004-March.txt.gz The date headers in the page are RFC2822 violation. Date: Mon Mar 1 21:01:02 2004 Date: Tue Mar 2 08:29:07 2004 Date: Tue Mar 2 08:40:05 2004 ... This is because the following code is performed in HyperArch.py. def as_text(self): d = self.__dict__.copy() # We need to guarantee a valid From_ line, even if there are # bososities in the headers. if not d.get('fromdate', '').strip(): d['fromdate'] = time.ctime(time.time()) if not d.get('email', '').strip(): d['email'] = 'bogus@does.not.exist.com' if not d.get('datestr', '').strip(): d['datestr'] = time.ctime(time.time()) # Since there is no datestr, time.ctime() is used. I think that the following patch solves this problem. From: SHIGENO Kazutaka <shigeno@iij-mc.co.jp> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 23:10:13 +0900 (JST)

The definition of self.datestr does not exist in pipermail.py. How about using the following patch?
