I hope everyone enjoys their extra second! This also serves as a test to see what really happens if there is a "60" for seconds in the date header. - Chris

Hi, I just browse old messages, and I find yours. Thanks for providing it, but in order to serve as a test, it doesn't seem to be accurate. I don't think this is the correct date/time for the leap second (the month and the timezone indication are wrong), unless I deeply misunderstand the problem. I have received it with the following headers:
Received: from sigurd.innosoft.com by elsie.nci.nih.gov (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA07794; Tue, 1 Jul 97 04:04:07 EDT Received: from eleanor.innosoft.com ("port 34678"@[192.160.253.79]) by sigurd.innosoft.com (PMDF V5.2-0 #8790) with ESMTP id <01IKPCMQY5JGB9SVCN@sigurd.innosoft.com> for tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov; Tue, 1 Jul 1997 01:04:03 PDT Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 23:59:60 -0700
BTW, this is a direct download from <ftp://elsie.nci.nih.org/pub/tzarchive.gz>; the message appears to have been sent on June 30th, but too late in the night. But I can't figure how the month turned to July in the "Date:" header. Perhaps was it wrongly handled or stored at elsie? or was it a initial failure? My mail client displays it with the full string as you gave, but the resumé changes it to "97-07-31 09:00", which is correct for my timezone. Can someone forge a message with the correct timestamp, in order to do real tests? Antoine

I admit to having botched the timestamp because I was hand composing it too late at night. - Chris
