Not really mailman's fault, but the archiving process dies a horribly flaming
death if some bozo is using a client that sticks "100" in as the year (because
the author never read the man page for tm...)
I've *still* got users, it seems using those. Like one I just emailed suggesting
he get off of elm 2.4pl25. I noticed this whan trying to redo a couple of archives,
arch was blowing up starting in january. The mailbox dateconverstion routine
can't cope.
Ideally, since it's a known problem, a special case ought to be made mapping
dates in the second century to the 21st century :-).
