Same; hence my choice of the above attribution :-) It's bad enough
trying to sort out 12/03/02, 03/12/02 or 02/03/12. Trying to read
120302, 031202 or 020312 causes my mental parser to have a nervous
breakdown. It's one of the few quibbles I have with Sven's configs.
(which I've otherwise shamelessly co-opted, thanks Sven!)

Although, if I were a spammer trolling for addresses, I'd just snarf the
'From' header.
