Adding weekday to Date header

Adding weekday to Date header

[Jason R. Mastaler]

When reading past messages of mine, I'm getting really tired of typing
`cal' to find out what day of the week that was.

The following patch simply adds the weekday to the "Date" header that
gnus generates.  Please consider it for committal.

Presuming that you're reading them from within Gnus, and considering
that you probably won't want to regenerate the headers of past
messages, you could as well use something along the lines of:

(setq gnus-article-time-format "%a, %b %d %Y %T %Z")
(setq gnus-treat-date-user-defined 'head)

But of course I agree that applying your patch would be a Good Thing.

I don't actually.  I store sent messages in MH format and scan through
them later using the command-line tools.
