   Hey Tony!   
      
    TL> Story of my life   
      
   Excellent.  Speaking of which, what do you think about the above extra-special   
   datetime stamp?  I was thinking of using the %s and possibly the %N that   
   created the one between the '-={ }=-' in the msg header instead of the ftn   
   one.  That way the enduser could configure whatever style of datetime stamp   
   they want as far as their display is concerned.  The obsolete ftn one can be   
   tacked on once any messages are packed for distribution beyond the host node.   
      
   As an example the above datetime in the header would be "1462028   
   04.931189447".  That can be converted with;   
      
     :read !date --date="@1462028804.931189447"   
   Sat Apr 30 15:06:44 UTC 2016   
      
   which is the standard output for 'date' on any Linux system I have ever seen,   
   including the UTC part.   
      
   Life is good,
