New issue 4 by chrissha...@gmail.com: Two digit year in email Date line
gets put in 1970
http://code.google.com/p/gmail-backup/issues/detail?id=4

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive email with malformed Date line containing 2 digit year - Gmail
displays year correctly
2. Backup email

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Email should be stored either using 2 digit year or by guessing century
correctly or by extracting date from another field.
Email is actually stored and names as if the year were 1970

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision 15 (2011-03-07)
Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

Here is a sample header. This should have been named
20090214-013902-ebay@ebay_co_uk-Your_watched_eBay_item_is_ending_soon
but was actually named
19700214-013902-ebay@ebay_co_uk-Your_watched_eBay_item_is_ending_soon

Date line gets put in 1970

You're actually using this code? If I do take a look at the bug, you'd
have to tell me how you got it to work. Last I heard there were issues
with unicode and varying versions of the gmail access Python library it
depended on, and I haven't used it since I wrote it :-)

Yup. I'd been using the one off http://www.gmail-backup.com/ for a couple
of years but then found this one. It seems to work fine for me, other than
the issue mentioned, which isn't really a big deal
