Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.12-1
Severity: normal

there is an integer overflow handling received emails' date, i.e. when
the date is later than Tue Jan 19 04:14:07 2038. this is shown in emails'
list:
  52 N   Dec 14 sender          ( 124) subject
  
this one's date is `Tue, 19 Jan 2038 11:14:07 +0800', which overflows to
14 Dec 1901. the displayed `Date' field of the email header doesn't change.
i guess the behaviour is:
date_to_int();
sort_mails();
int_to_date(); /* integer overflow */

Cheers,
Daniele
