Note that I was only suggesting that the timezone be displayed at the local side, and although I didn't mention it I was only going to suggest it support IETF-sanctioned timezones. But it seems like there's little political will for that. That makes %(tws) and %(pretty) equivalent, FWIW. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
