19 Dates are a little more tricky than it should be: the formatting
20 permits a few constructs more than other RFCs use for timestamps. For
21 instance, a small subset of timezone abbreviations are permitted.

308 Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content
309 The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines"
310 or "Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data
311 contains weird characters.
312
313 Warning: Illegal character in charset '$charset'
314 The field is created with an utf8 string which only contains data
315 from the specified character set. However, that character set can
316 never be a valid name because it contains characters which are not
317 permitted.
318
319 Warning: Illegal character in field name $name
320 A new field is being created which does contain characters not
321 permitted by the RFCs. Using this field in messages may break
322 other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and therefore mutulate or
323 extinguish your message.
324
325 Warning: Illegal character in language '$lang'
326 The field is created with data which is specified to be in a
327 certain language, however, the name of the language cannot be
328 valid: it contains characters which are not permitted by the RFCs.
329
330 Warning: Illegal encoding '$encoding', used 'q'
331 The RFCs only permit base64 ("b " or "B ") or quoted-printable ("q"
332 or "Q") encoding. Other than these four options are illegal.
333
334 Error: No attributes for date fields.
335 It is not possible to add attributes to date fields: it is not
336 permitted by the RFCs.
337
338 Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
339 Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
340 not implement this method where it should. This message means that
341 some other related classes do implement this method however the
342 class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
343 probably inform the author of the package.
