>Description:

	

I've been having problems with conversion of some Date: headers.
Posted problem to the exmh list and was told an updated
date.patch was at http://www.beedub.com/exmh/patches/2.0.2/date.patch

This is the error message exmh-2.0.2 was giving:

 unable to convert date-time string "Sun, 04 Oct 1998, 17:47:04 -0700"
     while executing
 "clock scan $time"
     (procedure "MimeShowTime" line 2)
     invoked from within
 "MimeShowTime $tkw $mimeHdr($part,hdr,$hdr)"
     (procedure "MimeShowMinHeaders" line 42)
     invoked from within
 [...]

/usr/ports/mail/exmh2/Makefile says:
# XXX date.patch doesn't apply (spammed whitespace) (patch-ax)

It appears patch-ax is a slightly different version of date.patch.
So I removed patch-ax and added date.patch to the PATCHFILES+=
lines in Makefile. And added 

MD5 (exmh-2.0.2/date.patch) = 41fba517e559fbb80a554b81c351eb0a

to files/md5. "make install" and all appears to be good now.

>How-To-Repeat:

Get an email message from ONSALE with headers something like this:

 From: ONSALE <Onsale_Maillist@new-jersey.onsale.com>
 To: dkelly@hiwaay.net
 Subject: 159 USR Sportster 56K V.90 & X2 Modems from $1
 Date: Tue, 06 Oct 1998, 14:52:18 -0700

	

>Fix:

Use the date.patch from http://www.beedub.com/exmh/patches/2.0.2/date.patch
rather than patch-ax.
