If I understand this correctly, all dates in evolution (or perhaps even
in gnome) should be between 1970 and 2039. Why is this? Like Sandip I
would like to add several dates prior to 1970 to my calendar.

However I don't think we should add such a request to this particular
bug. Where should a feature request about extending the date-range be
submitted?

Also IMHO this bug doesn't look related to the problem of certain dates
not showing up in the calendar.

TIA
