OK, I know this is something which has been discussed in the past, but I am
getting mail message from "brain damaged" mailers which generate dates
unparsable by VM.

Something like:

Wed 6 Mar 91 19:32:35-PST

(the coma is missing after the Day and the -PST is not parsed)

My guess is that vm-summary is perfectly correct and parse whatever date it is
suppose too (RFC ...). At the same time, even if I ask or flame the people who
are sending me these unparsable mails, there is little chance this will lead to
any change from their side (by fixing the mailer or getting another one)... So
at the end, the VM users are the loosers.

As a consequence, I slightly patched the regexps (the 1st one) which parses the
date in vm-summary.el:
 
419c419
< "\\(\\([a-z][a-z][a-z]\\),?\\)?[ \t\n]*\\([0-9][0-9]?\\)[ \t\n---]*\\([a-z][a-z][a-z]\\)[ \t\n---]*\\([0-9]*[0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t\n]*\\([0-9:]+\\)[ \t\n-]*\\([a-z][a-z]?[a-z]?\\|[---+][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)"
---
> "\\(\\([a-z][a-z][a-z]\\),\\)?[ \t\n]*\\([0-9][0-9]?\\)[ \t\n---]*\\([a-z][a-z][a-z]\\)[ \t\n---]*\\([0-9]*[0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t\n]*\\([0-9:]+\\)[ \t\n]*\\([a-z][a-z]?[a-z]?\\|[---+][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)"

Could we get this patch or a similar one in 5.27???
