looks like there is a glitch with whichever date shows up at the top of a
given page. If you browse through the month of april, you'll see this happens
on a number of different days always appearing at the top of each page.

Dave/Marc... any thoughts?

The other problem that the archive pages have had since forever is the
tendency to show a few garbage "[no subject]" entries near the top of
the newest page for a list.  These always point to what seem to be
partial messages.  I do not know if this represents the archiving
process storing bad data, or the web page generator misinterpreting
what's stored.

I investigated this several months ago and suggested a possible
cause: that a paragraph beginning with "From " is being parsed as
the beginning of a new message.
