Well yes and no.... I make the addition after the message is edited and before its read back into the BBS.  Probably only going to work for software that uses MSGTMP or something very similar.

I keep a short file with the UTC kludge in it, and simply use redirections to rebuild the MSGTMP before re-entry to the BBS.

Soo...

mv msgtmp msgtmp.new
type kludge.txt > MSGTMP
type msgtmp.new >> MSGTMP
exit

you have to be able to call the message editor from a batchfile rather than have it called directly as a .exe without command.com.  What I use should work with any QuickBBS clone, so QBBS, old RA, SuperBBS, Celerity, and others.
