Summary: test_email makes assumptions about epoch
Initial Comment:
test_email makes assumptions about the time.time() epoch being the Unix-standard of
Jan 1, 1970; in method test_formatdate().
This test fails on the Mac, where the epoch is Jan 1, 1904.
As I'm unsure of what the test actually tests I don't know whether the test is wrong
or whether Utils.formatdate() is wrong.
If this can be fixed quickly please let me know and I'll incorporate the fix in MacPython 2.2b2,
otherwise I'll add a note to the readme.

Tell me what strings time.ctime(0) and Utils.formatdate(now)
returns and I'll adjust the test case.
