>Description:
	/usr/bin/mail cannot read mail files produced by Solaris 2.3
	because of different time formats. (The NetBSD/i386 machine nfs-
	mounts the mail directory from the Sun). On the "From" line 
	Solaris writes the time string as hh:mm, NetBSD /usr/bin/mail 
	wants hh:mm:ss .
	
	RFC822 says the hour format should be:
	     hour        =  2DIGIT ":" 2DIGIT [":" 2DIGIT]
                                                 ; 00:00:00 - 23:59:59
	so the seconds are optional. Solaris omits them, but NetBSD mail
	demands them.
