(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

I seem to be recieving some e-mails from companies in France and Quebec (Canada)
and they have dates like this:

Date: sam., 07 mai 2005 10:10:04 -0400

[always with the sam.] and of course with the french 'mai' instead of 'may'. 
I'd imagine this problem stems further than just French, and probably further
than just May.

These show up at the top of the message list as 7PM  Dec31,1969 (sorted by date).

As you might imagine, this is far from optimal, and if mail servers and clients
are producing mail with this kind of header, Thunderbird should at least be
gracefully handling them.

Thoughts?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Receive e-mail with 
Date: sam., 07 mai 2005 10:10:04 -0400
as it's date
Actual Results:  
Shows up at 7PM Dec 31 1969

Expected Results:  
Shows up at May 7th, 2005 10:10
