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,
