Yes. 822 specified it and 1123 changed the format a little (made it Y2K
happy among other things). Strictly speaking, the above format is
illegal, so who knows how another mail program will parse it.
Why not just do a X-Roman-Date: or some such header? It wouldn't even
require code changes.. just a
send-hook ~A 'my_hdr X-Roman-Date: `generate-roman-date-program`'
