Bug Description

Binary package hint: mutt

Symptoms
========

mutt 1.5.20-4ubuntu1 from in karmic does not print the first digit of
the minute in the "From" header timestamp.

Here are the contents of the test user's mail file:

Here's how it displays in a freshly installed mutt session:
---[start]-----

---[end]-----

Note the first line:
  From muttuser@fumanchu Thu Apr 15 16: 9:03 2010

The timestamp is missing a '3'. It should be:

  From muttuser@fumanchu Thu Apr 15 16:39:03 2010

Steps to reproduce the problem
==============================
1. Install Ubuntu Karmic

2. Install mutt 1.5.20-4ubuntu1. This will also install postfix.
  2a. for the postfix installation, accept the defaults and select the
      "Local delivery" configuration.

3. Run mutt and send yourself a test message.
