[comp.mail.elm] Elm 2.0gamma Expire bug

oneill@bu-tyng.bu.edu (Brian O'Neill) (08/20/88)

It seems that Elm automatically marks mail as expired if they contain an
Expire header, whether or not the time to expire has been reached. Has
anyone else seen this??

src/expires.c has bug
The mailer doesn't give the date into form #1.

	/** first step is to break down the date given into MM DD YY HH MM
	    format:  The possible formats for this field are, by example:
	
		(1) Mon, Jun 11, 87
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^
>	 	(1) Mon, 11 Jun 87



	else if (strlen(word4) != 0) {		   /* form #1 */
	  month = month_number(word2);
	  day   = atoi(word3);
	  year  = atoi(word4);
	}
