More explanation, for future reference: - date-to-time is not part of XEmacs but provided by app-xemacs/gnus. Adding a test dependency for one function would have been less than optimal (IMHO). Also there are subtle differences between implementations, e.g. XEmacs doesn't accept ISO 8601 time stamps like "2024-08-30T06:30:00Z". - We cannot use Lisp time values because it changes all the time. The Emacs Lisp reference manual says: "Although traditionally Lisp timestamps were integer pairs, their form has evolved and programs ordinarily should not depend on the current default form." Also, as they measure seconds since the Epoch, they are not human readable. - This leaves us with encode-time which used to accept SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, MONTH, YEAR and ZONE as separate arguments (and still does in XEmacs). Unfortunately, its calling convention has changed in Emacs 27; it wants a list now. The old interface is still supported, but presumably it is only a matter of time before it goes away. See the commit in comment #3 for the (ugly) workaround using condition-case.
