What he means is that all time zone info is obtained from the system and
is not held within Evo. Perhaps "CET" or "JST" means something
different to the system than what you think it means - perhaps JST has
been defined as something other than Japanese time? Perhaps your locale
setting has defined your local timezone to be something other than pure
CET?

Well it calculates it correctly for me - I'm in GMT and your last
message says:
Date:
Wed, 28 Dec 2005 11:14:38 +0100
(10:14 GMT)
with the (10:14 GMT) in *italics* - I was trying to work out where in
the date header an oblique ("/") could be!

No, I wouldn't think so - Evo gets all the timezone info externally, so
it can only work on that basis.
