This is wrong, as ctime(3) format is explicitly called out in all the
relevent RFC's and other docs as being an invalid date format.
Worse, it is stupid given that news itself inserts a Date header:
Date: 23 Jul 87 20:03:01 GMT
And for,
Posting-Front-End: GNU Emacs 18.41.3 of Tue Apr 7 1987
Who cares?
I hope the next upgrade to GNU will remove these headers. They impart no
worthwhile information and cost us all money in transport.
A penny here, a centime there -- they all add up,
