Personally, I appreciate the correction on my reading of the RFC. :)
You are correct, though, that the date per-se isn't wrong, it's the test
for the well-formed header part that's failing, not any parsing of the
date itself.
Which doesn't make me correct in the assertion that it's 822 compliant,
date-wise.
