Re: [evolution-patches] Broken date detection fix

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

to be honest, i don't think all this effort is worth it.  the rfc is pretty specific about dates, and the amount of effort we're going to work around a few, very broken, email programs is quite extreme.

but since you have the patch and we do it already, i guess it looks ok.
