Have you talked with the person who wrote the pine maildir patches
about this?  Maildir clients are not _supposed_ to parse or interpret
the filename of the messages themselves.

The IMAP protocol requires the server to be able to report both the date
the message was sent (from the "Date:" header) and the so-called server
"internal date" when the message was actually introduced into the mailbox.
I suspect the c-client maildir patches are attempting to parse the latter
out of the file name, since the file access/modify date is not a reliable
indicator.
