Description
mlsys_parse_text_, when parsing the email envelopes (headers), uses an old convention when encountering 2-digit years to convert to 4-digit years. It simply adds 1900 to the 2-digit year. These days, the better convention is to check for years less than 50, and for those, to add 2000, otherwise 1900.
