Badly formatted dates cause exceptions #52

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The date parsing code looks like this:

    elif response_headers.has_key('date'):
        date =
calendar.timegm(email.Utils.parsedate_tz(response_headers['date']))

This doesn't catch errors.  You'll get a confusing exception about tuples
if you have a parsing error (I think parsedate_tz returns None).  I think
it should simply swallow errors for this, but at least a preferable result
would be a more sensible error (ideally showing the problematic date).
