Even though, the version of hypermail used is not the most recent one, I don't know if the bug still exists. If nobody has changed the proper parser, somebody should take a look at it.

For example, on http://www.Infodrom.North.DE/Debian/debian-events-de/1999/

You'll find on date.html:

        Starting: Sun 15 Aug 1999 - 12:11:10 CEST

while the first mail in that archive comes with:

        Sat, 14 Aug 1999 12:27:20 +0200

Apparently something *is* wrong.
