I found the following description in the changelog of im:

>
> * Y2K fixes for broken year and no Date: field.
> SAITO Tetsuya <saito@Mew.org>
Though the version (135) is very different from the Debian page's
description (1:100-3), I found the following mail (Japanese) and
I think it is the original bug report.
http://www.mew.org/ml/mew-dist-1.94/msg01382.html
Here is a digest of the mail:
My name is Hosono.
When a message doesn't have "Date:" field and the date
(I - Kubota - guess it means the date when im is invoked)
is 2000, a problem occur. The year is displayed as "100",
like following:
31 100/01/01 Re: [linux-users:63039] Re: PCMCIA...
Here I post a tiny patch to fix this problem. This patch
has been already applied to the im package of Kondara MNU/Linux
distribution.
Here I think the meaning of the sentence is clear. I propose
to rewrite the sentence in the wml file like following:
Scan.pm y2k problem: Messages without "Date:" fields will
be processed wrongly in 2000 or later.

Please see the page using Japanese-enabled environment. The colons
are already well aligned. I imagine your browser cannot handle
doublewidth characters.

Is the message sent me directly, or to debian-www? I could not find
a direct message to me. I am afraid I lost the message among spams....
