[Mutt] #3077: Bug in doc/mbox.man aka mbox(5)
#3077: Bug in doc/mbox.man aka mbox(5)
{{{
Hi,
while looking at Debian bug #485611, I noticed that mutt's mbox(5)
manpage claims the date in From_ lines would be in date-time format as
defined in RFC2822, whereas it is actually in asctime(3) format [1].
The patch below fixes this.
