Strange.  The Palm OS APII 'dfDMYLong' format creates an inital date 
string like this:
   Sun Dec 25 2005
I pass in str+1 to the OS's DateToDOWDMFormat function and then used:
   StrNCopy(str, str + 1, 3); str[3]= ','
This modifies the string to add a comma so it looks like this:
   Sun, Dec 25 2005
Presumably StrNCopy on T3 (and other devices?) has issues with the 
sorce and destination being the same buffer so I just changed 3.2 to 
do it like this:
   for (i=0; (i<3); i++) { str[i] = str[i+1]; }

I have to look around for any other code that does similar...

"Polled" or "posted"?
It is likely that the conduit does some sanity testing of the headers 
whereas the receiving mail/news server probably discards the date 
header and supplies it's own.

Anyway, this will surely be fixed in v3.2 by this change!
