5.1. Date
The Date-header contains the date and time that the article was
prepared by the poster ready for transmission and SHOULD express the
poster's local time. The content syntax makes use of syntax defined
in [RFC 2822] (but see the revised definition of zone in section
2.4.3).
header =/ Date-header
Date-header = "Date" ":" SP Date-content
Date-content = date-time
The date-time MUST be semantically valid as required by [RFC 2822].
Although folding white space is permitted throughout the date-time
syntax, it is RECOMMENDED that a single space be used in each place
that FWS appears (whether it is required or optional).
In order to prevent the reinjection of expired articles into the news
stream, relaying and serving agents MUST refuse "stale" articles
whose Date-header predates the earliest articles of which they
normally keep record, or which is more than 24 hours into the future
(though they MAY use a margin less than that 24 hours). Relaying
agents MUST NOT modify the Date-header in transit.
