Steps to reproduce:

Attempted to subscribe to http://feeds.feedburner.com/NCRegisterDailyBlog


Actual results:

All entries are dated 12/31/1969 7:00 pm


Expected results:

Should have been correct date.

The RSS xml appears to have a different format for dc:date than thunderbird is expecting.

Other RSS readers seem to work ok with it.

Sample xml:

Try now.  I think it has to do with when the days are 1 digit, so It only appears during the 1st through the 9th of the month.
