Re: Date in mail headers
Hi,
I do not know what the debate seems to be about, but I must
take exception to this statement.

The RFC???? are all the rules that actually apply to the
internet. And if we all start ignoring the rules, the cooperative
process that is the internet (and, indeed, Linux itself is the
product of a similar cooperative process).
If you must have a change, and you do not think that the
current internationalization effort is not doing enough, use a Header
like X-Time and fill it anyway you wish; at least automata that
expects standard headers to bve standards conformant does not break.

No, this line of argument is silly. Do you also propose to
change the header names (From:, Subject:, Date: etc)? If I can't read
English, how do I know what the From and Sender and Reply-to headers
mean? Try and change them to your native language.
