# : Thread index shows messages starting Mon 15 Jun 1970, ending Thu 24 Sep
# : 1970. Bummer; it not only thinks 2000 is 1970, but it thinks 2001 is also.

# Thanks!

# : line 200 of file.c adding 1900 to now->tm_year
# : CENTURY defined as 1900, and BASEYEAR defined as 1970 in hypermail.h
# : functions "splitshortdate" and "convtoshortdate" in date.c manipulate
# : things in terms of 2 digit years, not a good sign. The latter is designed
# : to handle an explicit string with the 4 digit year and chop it to 2 digits.
#
# Ugly two digit years, this will not do!

# So b4 will either be a week late or there will be b5 real real soon.

# Note: This needs to be fixed asap.

Agreed... sigh.... I am working on it now. b4 will be delayed until I can isolate and correct this.
