mutt not y2k compliant???
Hello,
I noticed something strange with mutt from slink:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-============================================
ii mutt 0.95.3-0.2 Text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG,
A mail I received has the following headers:
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 00 12:59:30 +1100
From: Ger Vloothuis <Ger.Vloothuis@f284.n633.z3.fidonet.org>
Subject: Y2K roll call
To: Brian May <Brian.May@f362.n633.z3.fidonet.org>
(note: this is fidonet, I am not sure if two digit years are supported
or not).
Most programs recognise "00" as the year 2000 (eg Gnus). Not mutt
though - it displays the same entry as:
188 * Feb 16 Ger Vloothuis ( 0) Y2K roll call
How can mutt get so confused it replaces 10 Jan with 16 Feb???
