Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man5/mbox.5.gz

The mbox(5) manpage says

    The date [if the From_ line] is expected to be date-time as
    defined in RFC2822 3.3.

Yet actually attempting to use this format results in mutt reporting
an empty mailbox.  The example given in the manpage itself is not in
RFC2822 format, as date(1) shows:

    $ date -d 'Fri Jun 23 02:56:55 2000' --rfc-2822
    Fri, 23 Jun 2000 02:56:55 +1000

The good folk of Freenode's #mutt had this to say:

fmg> the date in From_ is always asctime format
fmg> debian man page is misleading you, take:
