OK, I modified Message.pm on a test box like so:
--- Message.pm.orig 2011-02-19 05:56:36.000000000 -0500
+++ Message.pm 2011-02-28 09:15:50.000000000 -0500

$date = sprintf("%04d%02d%02d", $year+1900, $month+1, $day);

I don't know if this is the right way to do it, as my programming skills
are fairly minimal and my perl knowledge is even less, but it looked
reasonable, and the files come out with two digit hour names now.
