I know that Ward is a 'cachondo', :-) but I don't think he was making a joke with this.

Anyway, in this message of yours, I see that Golded is showing me your local time. It looks to me like coming from the future.

I thought that it was smart enough to use your TZUTC kludge and show me the 'real' time for my timezone. And I see that it happens the same with other editors/viewers... :-S

I had assumed that this kludge was used by FTN software and not just something informative. :-/
