Well, I thought I had a program for parsing RFC822 dates that worked pretty well incorporating some of the common illegal formats that are being used such as out of order days of week (I through it away), years greater than 100, spelled out month names, misplaced commas, etc... but I ran it on my current mail and the following hosts got caught: sun!l5@ucb-vax RUTGERS, PURDUE, USC-ECLB, DEC-MARLBORO, BNL The errors in these cases were either the lack of separation between the hours and minutes of the time (the colons are obligatory) or using hyphens to separate the day of month and year from the month name. -Ron
