Description

All date time strings seems work fine with my setting

SetEnv LC_TIME "zh_TW.utf8"

But, the e-mail's header, can't read zh_TW.utf8 formated date string. So, when I received e-mail from the trac, it is always be 1970/01/01 00:00 on linux machine.

I think it must keep general date time formating on e-mail's header.

On a German windows server, the date is also wrong in notification e-mails. The date field in the e-mails is formatted according to the current language, but RFC822 requires that the date header is always in English.

Summary: date format incorrect when delivery mail on SetEnv LC_TIME "zh_TW.utf8"date format incorrect when delivering mail on non-english locales

I have just added a patch that solves the issue with the wrong formatted Date header in the notification e-mails — at least on my (German) system. The patch is based on the current trunk version (r1374).

I do not speak Python, so I just changed it the way I would in C, so feel free to modify it to make it the "python way".

Milestone: 0.9

I set the milestone to 0.9 because the bug is really anoying (to me), and I believe the fix is trivial. You may change it back to something else if you don't think so.

I've added a locale independent fix for this.

formatdate will generate a date string that conforms to RFC 2822 syntax.
