Index:	rfuncs2.c FIX

Description:
	The readnews "s" command creates a unix From line so that saved
	articles can be perused with mail.  This from line has a garbaged
	date and on our system, mail won't even recognize this as a From
	line.
Repeat-By:
	Save this article with "s- phile", then do "head -1 phile | cat -v"
Fix:
	In the routine save() in rfuncs2.c, hh.subtime is used without
	being set.  Hread() does not set this field.  Add one line to
	save():
---------------
 	/*
 	 * V7MAIL code is here to conform to V7 mail format.
 	 * If you need a different format to be able to
 	 * use your local mail command (such as four ^A's
 	 * on the end of articles) substitute it here.
 	 */
 #ifdef V7MAIL
+ 	hh.subtime = cgtdate(hh.subdate); /* NOT SET BY hread() */
 	fprintf(ufp, "From %s %s",
 #ifdef INTERNET
 				hh.from,
 #else
 				hh.path,
 #endif
 					ctime(&hh.subtime));
 #endif
