-={ Corrected datetime: 2020-11-23 19:12:14 +0000 }=-

Hey Wilfred!

I think I have come up with a routine that corrects the msg datetime stamp
relative to the user's perspective that also compensates for the corrupted
TZUTC offset.  The above corrected datetime was generated from the msg I am
replying to.  The output's format in strftime()-speak is "%F %T %z" and can
easily be adjusted to the enduser's preference.  I don't believe it would be
wise to output it to a flag given it is to the enduser's configuration rather
than fidonet at large.

What a hassel.  Personally I don't see it being worth the effort but all things
considered I believe the above corrected datetime stamp, or something like it,
would be an appropriate replacement for the ftn msg header's datetime stamp and
should have happened roughly 18 years ago.

Life is good,
Maurice
