Yes, I kid you not:-) The test of the date/time parser in test_email tries to cater for the fact that the Mac uses localtime (at least, before OSX), but it fails to cater for DST. So, test_email passes in winter, but fails in summer. I think the whole idea of comparing based on a numeric value is not so good. Why not try a roundtrip, or compare against another date coder (time.asctime)?
