Re: [Nmh-workers] date math

In the EST/CDT division, existing routines already "know" if a
particular date falls under DST so there is no ambiguity there.  But
like you said, it's hard to know if the sender is in the "wrong"
hemisphere :-)

Do they get Saskatchewan right?  (I haven't looked at the code.  I don't
want to.)

I was thinking about mktime() and friends ... but now that I think about
it, I realize that's simply not good enough (first off, we don't call it).
A GMT offset != a timezone.  Of course, everyone else already knew that :-/
