One of the things I can do - which I've toyed with in the past, is to give packets (and possibly messages headers) in your local time. IE: When we connect, and I get a NUL Date message, with timezone information, by definition I know what timezone you are in and as I generate packets I can use that timezone for the packet header and message headers.

I've not noticed that dates/times are a real problem though (we all know its not reliable), so I've not really bothered.

And not all packet times use dates though (2.2) - and I use 2.2 with my BBS because its a 5d packet.
