LOL Stupid Timezone.

FTS-4009 tells us:

  This field is *optional*, and must be a short, widely accepted
  alphabetical abbreviation of the time zone that the time stamp
  in the Via line pertains to.

  The use of various Time Zone values is deprecated, implementations
  should attempt to convert the timestamp in the control paragraph to
  Universal Time (GMT or UTC) and use the "UTC" Time Zone indicator,
  where possible.

Fortunately the programmer of D'Bridge 4 is a member of the FTSC and is able to understand technical standards and
is able fix it.


"a short, widely accepted alphabetical abbreviation of the time zone". That is some unambiguous wording ;).
