[snip] As often as not I seem to read the answers before I get to the originating post, which is unhelpful. This morning, for instance, there was a message from the list with a timezone of BST. Date: Wed, 3 Sep 97 15:56 BST From: [snip] To: Debian developers list <debian-devel@lists.debian.org> Pine does not know what BST is, or PDT either for that matter, and neither do I. The message was processed as originating at 15:56 local time. Is this way of describing timezones according to the RFC?
