Description
The subroutine mail_format_ has special case code for formatting dates in email headers with 2-digit years when formatting network mail. This is because at the time the code was written, RFC822 demanded 2-digit years for compatibility purposes. However, that requirement has long since gone away and network mailers now use 4-digit years, so this code should be fixed.
