date -R

[Lars Becker]

Hi everybody,

i just found a minor problem with the localization of GNU date 2.0. 
I invoked it with the parameter -R to get a rfc822 compatible date 
and got something like this:

  Sam, 12 Jan 2002 02:59:56 +0100

which uses the german localization for the names of days and month.
Although RFC 822 doesn't specify explicitly which language should be
used, i assume it should be english, so that programmes have no
problem parsing the date strings properly.

regards
- Lars.
