[comp.mail.elm] time zone confusion - failure to RTFM or something more sinister ;-)

ccfj@hippo.ru.ac.za (F.F. Jacot Guillarmod) (02/14/91)

We are running elm 2.3 pl 11 on a Sparcstation with Sunos 4.1.1.
Because of our geographical location (South Africa) none of the
'standard' time zones apply, so we have gone for the following
date construct on the system:

Wed Feb 13 18:24:17 GMT+0200 1991

which is nice and unambiguous.  However, the date as set up in the
message headers by elm looks like this:

> Date: Tue, 12 Feb 91 23:53:24 EET

We have somehow been transported to the Soviet Union...... all a bit
confusing!

Any ideas on whether this is a bug?  Is there a workaround of some sort?
Anything I have missed out on in the configuration manual?
