Right, I already posted the recognized syntyx:
From [ <return-path> ] <weekday> <month> <day> <time> [ <timezone> ] <year>
The timezone in the example is badly placed after the year. It is
recognized by Mutt anyway as Mutt currently does not test for garbage
after the year, but I would not count on that bug not being fixed.

The time stamp in From_ line is used as the receive time. It can be
displayed in the index and used for sorting and searching etc. If
you make all receice times the same, these thing will not be useful.
