   Yeah, i know strftime().   
      
   OK, I'm convinced there is something messed up with time recording. So I'll   
   start with one piece at a time.   
      
   I'm storing messages with save_msg(), and I am *not* setting date,   
   when_imported* or when_written*.   
      
   According to the OS, the time is:   
   > root@ansitex-dev:/opt/sbbs/mods/ansitex# date   
   > Wed Dec 18 12:08:51 AEDT 2024   
      
   The message saved is record with this:   
   when_written     6762209C 0000 Wed Dec 18 12:08:44 2024 UTC   
   when_imported    6762209C 0000 Wed Dec 18 12:08:44 2024 UTC   
      
   This is not correct. The time was recorded as "UTC" when it should have been   
   converted to UTC or recorded as +11:00. And if it cant figure out the   
   timezone, then it shouldnt imply UTC.   
      
   This results Sync showing the message as "11 hrs from now".   
      
   Why isnt timezone information being used when storing the current time? (It   
   would seem apparent that Sync knows the time zone to display the statement   
   "hrs from now")   
      
   I think it would be better to fail the call to save_msg than second guess   
   wrong information.
