X-Disclaimer: This opinion is mine alone

I experienced problems when using nn to look through mailfolders ( and my
mailbox ). 
The first line in my mail header contains a line from the local mailer.
This line is parsed by nn to see what kind of messages there are in the folder.
For the mail header the syntax is ( by nn )
From name day month hh:mm:ss [TZ] year.

My local mailer does not list the seconds in the time. This causes nn to fail
to recognize the mail header.

I added the following path to digest.c

112,117d111
< 	/* some local mailers don't use the seconds field! */
< 	if ( isspace(*lp) && n == 5 )
< 	{
< 		n++;
< 		*fp++ = "00";
< 	}
