I want to produce outgoing "Date:" lines like:

Date: 	Wed, 5 Aug 1992 14:17:39 -1000

instead of:

Date: Wed, 5 Aug 92 14:18:33 HST

But Sun's supplied sendmail program doesn't seem to want to do 4-digit
years for me.  (Nor -1000 offsets, unless I'm willing to see the
same thing when I run "date").

If there's a way, would someone please tell me before I end up
re-compiling sendmail from the Berkely sources and replace sendmail on
umpteen systems?

thanks in advance...
