I am moving the archives of some YahooGroups to Mailman. When I run bin/arch it works fine, except when it hits posts with a bad date. All files sent to a list by Yahoo's internal mailers (reminders, polls, file notifications) have improper dates:

From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 15 20:47:08 2001
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
.
.
.
.
Date: 16 May 2001 03:47:02 -0000

The problem is the lack of the three letter day code in the date sent by the Yahoo mailer. All posts like this end up with the current date on the server, putting all these posts at the end of the archive index. On a couple of lists with relatively few of these I either deleted the post or fixed the date (both of which work) but I now have a list with almost 1000 of these things!

I've been trying to figure out how to rewrite the code so a message with an invalid date gets something that would put the posts at the beginning of the archive index. I'm guessing this will take a rewrite of HyperArch, but I've been unable to find the code that "corrects" a date.

Any ideas, hints, or code greatly appreciated!
