Description Dan Wing 2003-05-07 07:36:30 UTC 
On Windows with a foreign locale configured (that is, non english-speaking
locale), SpamAssassin's "safe" header uses the locale-specific weekday and month
name.  This isn't valid per RFC2822, which requires Unix-style english weekday
and month names.  The SpamAssassin behavior inteferes with some mailers (such as
Outlook) which order messages by "date received" using the last Received:
header.  An example from SpamAssassin's generated Received: header exhibiting
the incorrect behavior when configured with locale=Netherlands:

  Received: from localhost [127.0.0.1] by athlon1200 with 
    SpamAssassin (2.52 1.174.2.8-2003-03-24-exp); 
    ma, 05 mei 2003 21:50:43 +0200
    ^^     ^^^

Note the weekday is "ma" (should be "Mon") and month name is "Mei" (should be
"May").

Workaround: disable safe reporting in user_prefs with "report_safe 0".
