Dear Bug Team!
I have several mail folders that I read via gnus, using the nnmh
foreign group feature. Some of the folders don't get read often, and
I use date scoring to help weed out older messages. Occasionally gnus
will incorrectly flag a message as matching a "before" entry. For
example, consider the following score entry and the following header:

and the score entry
("date"
("20020401" -100 nil before))
I would not expect this to match, but it does.
I've also tried a C date syntax ("Mon, 1 Apr 2002 00:00:00"), with
and without a timezone, and I still see the occasional mismatch.
I suppose this could have something to do with the mangled
Delivery-Date header line, but I have other messages that have
similarly mangled lines, and gnus doesn't match them.
It's possible that I have the date syntax wrong for the score entry,
though it does work most of the time. Unfortunately, the info file
for gnus only describes the date format for date regexp matching. I
tried reverse engineering it from the code, but my Lisp skills weren't
up to the task.
This is not a new issue, by the way. I've been seeing this for
several months, at least, so it's not something introduced by 21.4 or
the latest gnus.
So, can anyone tell me
1. What the correct date syntax is for before/after score entries?
2. Why I'm seeing these occasional incorrect matches?
thanks,
mike
