Hey mark!   
      
    ml> i think Synchronet BBS does but i haven't looked very closely to   
    ml> see for sure   
      
   I'll check later.  I am curious but somewhat distracted at the moment with the   
   raspi3b+ thingy I am poking at as we speak.   
      
    ml> we're not tampering with anything   
      
   I wasn't talking for we ... whoever we are.  All I am saying is that I don't   
   touch the originals, even for display purposes and definetly don't use it for   
   sorts.  First come, first serve has been my motto.   
      
    ml> it is a simple thing to do if all the necessary parts are   
    ml> available...   
      
   Sure.  Have fun.  Personally I plan to continue ignoring them, including the   
   TZUTC kludges ... including mine.  All three systems here are still UTC no   
   matter what the TZUTC says, although for the record it is adjusted to PST8PDT   
   from the MSG's unixtime which is stored as a 32 bit hex number in the MSGID.   
      
    ml> $(date +%j)   
      
   That is only good for the year it is being used in.  For archiving the   
   %Y%m%d%H%M%SUTC%z is better but I prefer the simpler %s which should be unique   
   for all time and can be used to extact %j and/or %Y%m%d%H%M%SUTC%z from if and   
   when needed.  For even greater uniqueness I've been known to use %s.%N.   
      
   Let's see if the Møøse certification dealie is working.  If so then this MSG   
   will contain a CHRS thingy ... which can and will be ignored I am sure.  ;-)   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
