        We return None, if we couldn't find a valid date. In this case
        the IMAP server will use the server local time when appening
        (per RFC).

        Note, that imaplib's Time2Internaldate is inherently broken as
        it returns localized date strings which are invalid for IMAP
        servers. However, that function is called for *every* append()
        internally. So we need to either pass in `None` or the correct
        string (in which case Time2Internaldate() will do nothing) to
        append(). The output of this function is designed to work as
        input to the imapobj.append() function.

        TODO: We should probably be returning a bytearray rather than a
        string here, because the IMAP server will expect plain
        ASCII. However, imaplib.Time2INternaldate currently returns a
