Data.Time.Format in the time package has a specified RFC822 format
string that looks like it can be used with it's parser.

So it does. Right down at the very bottom, I never noticed it before. It's not fully compliant (the day-of-the-week is optional) but otherwise great.

Happstack seems to have an RFC822Headers module that might have something.

timerep on Hackage also has an RFC822 module.

That's the badger! No idea how I missed it, that looks like the one to use.

Thanks very much,
