   Hey August!   
      
    AA> OpenXP does a fine job of it.   
      
   I'd like to see the routine.  Best I can think of is to combine the MSG header   
   datetime stamp with the TZUTC and then use that resulting string to make the   
   adjustment.  Your combined msg header date and TZUTC string would be "13 Nov   
   20  18:58:54+0100" which requires extra steps to assemble as well as to tack   
   on the '+' character onto the TZUTC which is lacking and NEEDED to do proper   
   conversions.  A rfc-3339 datetime stamp is vastly superior and contains   
   everything needed.  In your case it would be "2020-11-13 18:58:54+0100" which   
   is the same as "2020-11-13 09:58:54-08:00" relative to 1:153/7001.2989.   
      
   Anyhow it is doable but requires additional processing in order to honour an   
   obsolete datetime stamp (two digit year) and a corrupted utc offset which   
   lacks the required '+' prefix for timezones east of prime meridian.   
      
   Life is good,
