RFC822 section 5.1 contains the answer:
! 5. DATE AND TIME SPECIFICATION
!
! 5.1. SYNTAX
!
! date-time = [ day "," ] date time ; dd mm yy
! ; hh:mm:ss zzz
!
! day = "Mon" / "Tue" / "Wed" / "Thu"
! / "Fri" / "Sat" / "Sun"
The day of week is an optional field; it's perfectly valid to either
include or exclude it.
