   Hi Maurice,   
      
   On 2020-11-15 14:03:51, you wrote to me:

    MK> I've been called worse.  Anyhow it doesn't change the fact that I am right   
    MK> about dropping the '+' character, as well as the obsolete datetime stamp.   
      
   No your wrong, it works according to the fidonet standard.   
      
   Keep fighting those windmills! ;)   
      
    MK> I could also note that some people are still getting the CHRS wrong   
    MK> according to fidonet specs.   
      
   That's true. Although "people" should be "software".   
      
    MK> but like the TZUTC flag it appears to be a flag that doesn't really do   
    MK> anything.   
      
   But it does! Editors can and will use the flag to display the text in the   
   message body in the right character set. I know golded can when properly   
   configured.   
      
    MK> Just like the FTSC.  ;-)   
      
   If you don't like what they do, you should join them, so you can change that!

    WvV>> It will do for that, as long as it displays the real timezone   
    WvV>> of the user, and not 0000 when he's not in the UK.   
      
    MK> Or South Africa.  They aren't in the UK and +0000 is just as real to them.   
    MK> Beats me if any of them use the TZUTC flag but I am guessing not.   
      
   There are no African nodes anymore nor Portugese, but there are nodes in the   
   UK.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
