However, RFC1036 is currently being reformed, and perhaps we can get the next RFC to allow (or recommend) ISO 8601 dates. To subscribe to the mailing list, send a mail to "usenet-format-request@clari.net". I have yet to work out how to send a mail to the mailing list itself; they have a weird filter thing set up. Or something. There were no instructions in the sign-on message, and there were no bounces. I think the messages were simply dropped.
