Bug #111372 for mime-construct: mime-construct should include "Date" field in messages

Currently, mime-construct does not include "Date" field in generated messages. This field is required according to RFC 5322 and not every MTA or SMTP client adds it when it is missing (for example msmtp doesn't). A possible fix is to use Email::Date::Format to easily format "Date" field value: --- a/mime-construct 2012-10-07 21:01:11.849644407 +0200 +++ b/mime-construct 2015-02-24 00:00:15.843791068 +0100 @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ # - continue long header lines I construct use Proc::WaitStat qw(close_die); +use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date); (my $Me = $0) =~ s-.*/--; my # new line required for makemaker @@ -491,6 +492,7 @@ push @output, cont "To: ", join(", ", @to), "\n" if @to; push @output, cont "Cc: ", join(", ", @cc), "\n" if @cc; + push @output, cont "Date: ", email_date, "\n"; push @output, cont "Subject: $subject\n" if $subject ne ''; push @output, $header if $header ne ''; This would also require adding Email::Date::Format to mime-construct dependencies.
