Summary: archived with bad dates / out of range

Initial Comment:
Here is one of these messages with a bad date that 
when archived gets archived with the date of the archive 
task. So, when rebuilding archives it is archived wrongly.

Example: the message attached should be archived 
with a date of "Apr 9 2000" and instead gets archived 
with today's data if rebuild today.

There is an alternative that makes mailman "Do the Right 
Thing". Have mailman add an X-Mailman-Archived-Date 
header to the message if the Date header is missing or 
mangled (or perhaps optionally always). Then have the 
archiver use this header if the Date header is bogus (or 
always if you want to ignore the message date entirely).

Actually, sorry, if this /is/ the file you sent to me then
Mailman is doing the right thing.  The Date header in that
message has a year of 100, which is totally bogus.  Mailman
has no other way to archive the file except by using the
received date, so it's doing the correct thing.  

I think this is one of several messages you've sent me that
has broken date headers.  Maybe your mail server needs fixing?

Oops, is this supposed to be the file you sent to me separately?

Mentor, there's no attached file.  Did you forget to check
the checkbox?
