Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/email
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv26235/Lib/email
Modified Files:
Utils.py
Log Message:
Added a usegmt flag to email.Utils.formatdate - this allows it to be
used to replace rfc822.formatdate for protocols like HTTP (where 'GMT' must
be the timezone string).
