Hi Nick,

On 2025-04-14 17:29:00, you wrote to me:

Because it's a standard, most messages in fido have it, and it contains useful information.

Then we are done investigating...

Then the kludge would be: TZUTC: 0000

Your message contains: @TZUTC: -0500 ?

The +0200 comes from the TZUTC kludge! Without the kludge you can't know if the message date is my local time, or UTC.


Bye, Wilfred.
