How much has the mbox format changed since 1994?

Formail plus Procmail plus something to parse the dates into a
canonical format ought to be enough to accomplish date expiry. If I'm
not mistaken, Jari has his own date canonicalizer so the rest should
be trivial. There are also several general-purpose programs to
canonicalize dates. One is mdate, which was posted to this list around
February.
