Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with ,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:

Email sent with PHP's mail() function often (but not always) has a
malformed Date: header.  Specifically, the minus sign before the UTC
offset is replaced with a capital letter "H".  In my timezone (US
Central Standard -6), this means "H0600" instead of "-0600".

The occurrence of this problem does not appear to be related to the
recent US DST change.

Here is a date header illustrating the problem, along with the
X-OriginalArrivalTime header from the same email, just for comparison:

Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 14:04:37 H0600
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Mar 2007 19:04:36.0042 (UTC)
FILETIME=[ED52E2A0:01C7716B]

But here is just one example which worked as expected.

Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2007 07:54:42 -0600
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 06 Feb 2007 13:54:30.0533 (UTC)
