Subject: import: allow the epoch (0s) as a valid time
X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0-pre1~237
X-Git-Url: http://www.git.stargrave.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c83ba91fcebd7e346e71ef155e7c618130c70111;p=public-inbox.git

import: allow the epoch (0s) as a valid time

Despite email not existing until 1971; "Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00"
seems like a common default timestamp for some test emails
to use as a Date: header.
