Which terminal program would never make a difference.

 > the web interface,

I checked a message I posted on your BBS via your web interface and it shows the correct time with no timezone info:
http://tbolt.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=dove-2014&thread=1089

Do we not mean the same thing by "web interface"?

What about when using smbutil or msglist.js?

When you message was exported to DOVE-Net, it had the correct timezone:
when_written     60F3C3D8 C168 Sat Jul 17 23:02:00 2021 CDT
                                                        ^^^

The only thing that should matter is what zone you configured in SCFG. We went through this information collecting exercise the last time you brought it up (a year ago or more?) and there was no resolution as I couldn't reproduce it nor determine the cause.

If you could give my "digital man" account on your BBS more access, that could possibly help. For example, posting privileges on one of your "local" sub-boards. It smells like a problem with the *display* of the message header and I seem to recall we had a lot of back and forth about whether you had a customized message header.
