      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: UTF-8 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20161221       MSGID: 2:280/464 5fb185e6       REPLY: 2:460/58 0000006e       Hi August,              On 2020-11-15 20:06:13, you wrote to me:               AA> Where the real magic resides, I find, is in a program that can utilize        AA> the TZUTC info in such a way it organizes the message in true        AA> chronological order in a thread - and not based on arrival time. For        AA> instance, if don't read an echo for days, but different people write        AA> messages with true replies prior to that at different times, the        AA> actual order of the messages in a thread are connected to a parent        AA> message in the time order that people thus spoke.              I know, and I even thought about implementing such a function in FMail. But it       would be difficult to do it right. Because for instance there are messages       without the TZUTC kludge. How do you sort those. I you use TZUTC 0000 as       default, they will probably end up in the wrong order. I thought about       creating a table for this that couples the netnumber to a particular timezone,       but there probably are nets, that have nodes in different timezones. And of       course there are nodes that are in nets that are not in their timezone. So       lots of things that can go wrong, so I never took the time. ;)              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 250/5       SEEN-BY: 250/8 298/25 305/3 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
