Right about the parsing but I'm using strptime as I thought the Mail-Box
docs said get('Date') would return a string that it strptime would handle.  
Wishful thinking that spammers would follow the rules.

Wish I wasn't trying so hard to protect the users mail (that may have
ended up in the spam folder).
  I thought I'd tried $msg->date and got even worst values returned.  
Looks like I'll have to do some more testing of the returned value before
thinking it is a good date string.


Thanks.
