Hi Volker,

I just had a look at RFC 5322. Having "GMT" as Timezone in the Date Header is
supported but deprecated. However, those mails I am having Problems with seem
to be created by some mail software where they misunderstood the RFC a little
bit. ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#page-33 )

The RFC talks about "GMT" but the double uotes are not part of the real String
that can be used. E.g. it should be written as GMT and not "GMT". So the
example mail is indeed not 100% RFC compatible.

However: I really think this kind of header should nevertheless be parsed as
expected because real world shows that there *are* mails like this in the
peoples mailboxes. 

So please accept "<some RFC 5322 obs-zone>" (with double quotes) as well as
without (which should already be the case) 

*And* mutt for example does not have a problem with those mails...

-Marc
