The issue is the script didn't take into account messages in the
mailbox without Date: headers. The scripts at
<http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/prune_arch> and
<http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~msapiro/scripts/prune_arch> have been
updated.

The fix is to change line 156 from

                mdate = mktime_tz(parsedate_tz(msg['date']))

to

                mdate = msg['date'] and
mktime_tz(parsedate_tz(msg['date']))

(watch out for wrapping above)
