Hello!
I see no one, outside of myself has thought it should also be Anarchist
Standard Time.


You’d be surprised how many people complain to my ISP's support locations
regarding the time shown on the web mail screens not looking like something
all of us understand.

It took me a long while to realize that the Internet runs on GMT, or UTC, if
you want, and it was up to all of us to make the necessary allowances. And
even most Operating Systems actually want your host to be running on one of
those two before the installer finishes its work. PC world of course.

Hmmm.  Then it's Domino's "Almost" or "About" Standard Time?

No, I'm in NY.  Domino examines the Date: field in the header and sets the 
PostedDate attribute, used by my posting script.  Rick's are GMT -0400. 
Yours are -0500.  You'll note that it says EST for you and AST for Rick. 
Domino isn't adjusting for DST.

The script is using the PostedDate so as to correlate it to when you 
*sent* the post, not when I received it.  Hmmm...that's not such a great 
idea as some clients will build the Date: header when you start the mail, 
not send it.

I think I'll change it to use the date I received it.  Domino gets that 
one right every time.  And it's probably close enough.  Thanks for 
pointing it out.
