That's fair enough, although the original MH developers did not
think it was useless; the code to get this information existed back
then.
If it's this code:
"GMT", "BST", 0,
"EST", "EDT", -5,
"CST", "CDT", -6,
"MST", "MDT", -7,
"PST", "PDT", -8,
"JST", "JDT", 2,
(and single letters for all the other standard times)
I don't believe it supports your statement about the original MH
developers' thoughts.
So that makes me wonder if we should still try to bother to generate
a symbolic timezone name. It looks like the only portable way to do
this is to have an internal list of timezone names.
You really want to maintain that?
A large part of me says to not bother.
Good :-) I agree with Lyndon that we shouldn't.
