Date in a V7 mail From line?

[Henry Spencer]

Anyone whose software assumes that there is some sort of "standard"
format for the date in a "From " header is in for trouble.  The V7
mailer and most of its descendants generate something which is more
or less predictable, but there are other mailers in use that generate
total weirdness in there.  Making assumptions about the format of the
date is unwise.
