The same thing happends when I started to use an International versions of SCO
Xenix. The problem is rn/trn that uses 'date' command to build the arguments to
'mbox.saver'. This can get the wrong results if one uses for example swedish
date format: M}n 04 Mar 07:58:36 met 1991

To get this right I use a schript that inwokes trn/rn instead of inwoking them
direct

:
# Start rn in english
LANG=english_us.ascii
export LANG
rn.b
