Thanks! This got me pointed in the right direction. It is interesting that
sun hardware stores GMT in the hardware clock and uses timezone info to
determine localtime, where pc harware stores localtime in the hardware
clock.

Yes, please send! Have you considered rolling this into multilogin with a
config setting to store prefs in unique logins vs storing prefs unique to
a username only? For some environments (like ours), having usernames share
the same preference files between servers only poses a security risk as
well as confusing the end user.

I would greatly appreciate a plugin that would do this. The only other
solution I have been curious about is this - instead of the whole
Quicksave plugin workaround (this seems kind of messy to me), is there a
way the timeout_user plugin could perform the timeout _after_ it allows a
message to be sent, or if it could instead of sending the message, execute
a "save as draft" and then close the compose window and timeout the user?

I have followed some of the e-mails about purposefully breaking the Back
button, but I would like a less destructive/intrusive way to protect the
carless users from themselves.

Thanks! I'll definitely submit it as a plugin once I have it cleaned up.
