It wouldn't be hard to add the date field as an option to the "L" command
(from, score, lines, and DATE field options).

It would make YARN more like mailx (ok, I know some of you are saying "yuck").

I sometime need to look for articles or msgs sent out between certain dates
so this date feature would be invaluable during these times.
