Description Nikita V. Youshchenko 2004-01-27 09:16:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Some MUAs generate Date: handler in the following format:

> Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 23:03:47 MSK

That is, they place timezone name (MSK) instead of time offset (+0300).

KMail (from KDE 3.1.5) parses this incorrectly. The shown date of that message is Jan 27 14:03 - that is, moved 15 hours to future (-1200 assumed?).

Other mailers (e.g. Mozilla) do show the message date correctly.
Comment 1 Ingo Klöcker 2004-01-27 11:14:42 UTC
This date is not standard-compliant. Timezone information has to be in the form +0300. Thus this report is a duplicate.

Shouldn't kmail parse date formats that other MUAs do parse?
Failure to parse date of incoming mail is not what users really want.

Are you sure it is really duplicate? 54098 is about other format than this 
bug.
