I did a little testing/research, and found that _daylight returns whether
daylight is enabled on the system, and _timezone returns the seconds to
add/subtract from UTC.

But how do you determine WHEN to apply the daylight offset and WHAT is the
offset?

Now the _timezone may change according to the system clock, therefore XMail
does not need to worry about how much and when.

The _daylight on my system only changes if the systems daylight capability
is enabled/disabled.  ie. If _daylight=1 (enabled), then the time WILL
change when the right time occurs.  NOT that daylight time is actually
adjusting the time or not.

Also a correction to my earlier mail, I am 10 hours east of UTC, or 10 hours
earlier.
Therefore I am UTC-10.
Also it is winter here and daylight time is not currently observed.
my  _daylight= 1
and _timezone=-36000
