fbb: ParseDate fails on msgs forwarded by RMS Relay #29

Closed martinhpedersen closed 8 years ago

martinhpedersen commented 8 years ago

RMS Relay seems to break the Date format of messages it forwards by re-formatting it as "YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM". This format clearly violates the Winlink Message Format specification:

The Date: field is the UTC date and time the message was originated and is in the format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM.

We need to support parsing of this format in order to support RMS Relay forwarded messages.

Consider adding support for other common email date formats also, just in case.
