[OFF] Non-U.S. email, date header day/month names? RFCs, etc.


  • Subject: [OFF] Non-U.S. email, date header day/month names? RFCs, etc.

Question to French and other non-U.S. senders of email:

According to RFC 2822, day and month names are in English. However, over the years I have seen non-English names occasionally in the Date: header. From the RFCs I've read (822, 1123, 2822), that would seem to be an error.

Can I safely consider messages with non-English day/month names as garbage?

VRic's old version of Claris Emailer is already giving me problems due to its 2-digit year (03 displays as 1948 in Eudora), and I'm trying to program around that now. While I'm at it, I want to create regular expressions to validate date headers in general. How valid is valid? ...


thanks,
-boo
