I'd like to have an attribution (the line above quoted text in replies) that looks like this:
'On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 21:12 EDT, Firstname Lastname wrote:' where "EDT" would always be the alphabetic time zone abbreviation of the sender's time zone. If I do: set date_format="%a, %d %b %Y, %H:%M %Z" and set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:" I get: On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 22:23 +0200, Firstname Lastname wrote: that is, the offset from UTC. If I use set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:" I get the desired alphabetic abbreviation, but the time and time zone (not surprisingly) of my own location. Is there any way to get %Z to expand to the alphabetic abbreviation of the sender's time zone? All this is on Xubuntu Gutsy, if that matters. m. -- Marianne Promberger Graduate student in Psychology http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~mpromber
