I have just received an email, which appears to be sent on:

,----[ *Article* buffer ]
| Date: Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 -0500
`----

The real Date header looks like this:
,----[ Raw Date field ]
| Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000  Pacific Daylight Time
`----

I guess Gnus is confused with the way time zone is specified, and/or
by the fact that time is not specified. Is this a legal way to specify
date? In any case, Gnus treated this in a funny way.

FWIW, I have (setq gnus-treat-date-local 'head).

Well, that's an invalid date, so what Gnus does is A-OK by me.
