I can't reproduce this with PHP4, either. I don't know if PHP has its own strtotime implementation or uses one from the system's libraries. We can't do anything about this anyway. If the IMP2 installation that sends these date headers is yours, change it to not include the timezone.

I'm having the same problem with "Unknown Date". Examples: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 18:00:06 -0500 (EST) - displays "Unknown Date" Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:18:41 -0500 (Eastern Standard Time) - displays "Unknown Date" This displays correctly: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 18:00:06 -0500 PHP 4.3.10

I can't reproduce this in either HEAD or FRAMEWORK_3. The date shows correctly in the inbox in both.

I'm including the same email in two formats, EML as requested and the original Qmail (Maildir) file. I fixed the problem myself by adding a few lines in mailbox.php that remove the last word in the date line if the word is all chars (which would be it's a timezone). Probably a bad idea (Ithat's why I'm not bothering with a patch) but will do for me for a few days.

Old versions of IMP (such as 2.2) used to write the message date with timezone, such as Sun, 16 Jan 2005 18:06:55 +0100 CET these dates show as "Unknown date" in the folder view (they are correctly parsed in the message view, though). I've looked into this a bit, and the problem is that strtotime($h->date, $curr_time) (for $h->date = any date with the format shown above) returns -1. I'm using PHP 5.0.3.
