I've been using mh for quite a while, and I just discovered a problem with the date field on all of the messages I've sent. Here's a mail message I just sent to myself (I often talk to myself ;-) ): > Return-Path: rob > Received: by mother.bates.edu (5.61/1.50) > id AA00565; Thu, 9 May 91 13:48:36 -0400 > From: rob (Rob Spellman) > Message-Id: <9105091748.AA00565@mother.bates.edu> > To: rob > Subject: Testing > Date: Thu, 09 May 91 13:48:36 D ^^^ > > Look at the date this message was sent! The time zone is a little messed up. It should be EDT! Here's the version information from running send -help: version: MH 6.6 #17[UCI] (dish) of Tue Aug 14 09:28:12 PDT 1990 options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [DUMB] [MHE] [BIND] [RPATHS] [ATZ] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [RISCOS] [SENDMTS] I am running this on a MIPS M120/5 running RISCos 4.51 Rob Spellman rob@mother.bates.edu

I posted the fix a while back but if you just look at the file you will figure it out. The bug has been reported to MIPS.

The year should also be 1991 and not 91, also according to RFC1123, in anticipation of the millenium. -- John Haxby, Definitively Wrong.
