Summary: test_email fails on Mac in summer
Initial Comment:
Yes, I kid you not:-)
The test of the date/time parser in test_email tries to cater for the fact that the Mac uses localtime (at least, before OSX), but it fails to cater for DST. So, test_email passes in winter, but fails in summer.
I think the whole idea of comparing based on a numeric value is not so good. Why not try a roundtrip, or compare against another date coder (time.asctime)?

Actually, forget the patch. I integrated email 2.0 into
Python 2.3's cvs and this included the proposed fix. Take a
look at test_formatdate() and test_formatdate_localtime() in
Lib/test/test_email.py and let me know what you think.

Barry,
I can't apply the patch, it seems to be against a different version of test_email than what's in the repository (I tried both the trunk and the 22 maintainance branch).

What do you think of the attached patch? Is this still a
useful test to include?
