Re: Report mail has wrong time encoding

Hi, I would like to remind you this issue. 
It has been reported almost year ago, but nothing seems to happen with it.

Do you think this could be part of next release?

| Hi,

| mail header.

| At [1] I found easy solution (just change LOCAL variable to en_US.UTF-8), but
| what if this is not suitable for user (he need different LOCAL setting for
| his system e.g. de_DE.UTF-8).
| 
| What do you think about implementing of this patch, that should solve
| described problem which is actual even for amanda-3.3.9 (source [2]):
