I already handle folding whitespace and such. The thing about
comment is more tricky. the grammar specified in RFC2822 doesn't
seem to allow comments in the timestamp (but then I'm not spec
lawyer). In general, I don't think NSCalendarDate can handle
anything other strictly formatted input according to the format
string (even trailing characters of an input string causes it to
fail).

I don't know how well NSCalendarDate handles the format of
the Date message header. A good document describing many
variations of the header is available here:
http://cr.yp.to/immhf/date.html
Perhaps it would be better to write the header parsing
code yourself and then use NSCalendarDate, especially
considering the following statement from the link above:
"One can in principle insert extra spaces, tabs, and
comments into a timestamp, like any other tokenizable
field value:
Mon (Lundi), 4(quatre)May (Mai) 1998(1998-05-04)03 : 04 : 12 +0000
"
I'm not sure NSCalendarDate handles RFC822 header field
comments like the above. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Cheerio,
