Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> Anyway there seems to be something wrong with your UTC time!

Not when it leaves here.  Somewhere it is getting corrupted.  For the record
this reply shows "02 Oct 15  17:11:36" in the header.  It will be different on
every BBS I have seen my posts/replies posted in as they seem to want to
convert it to whatever they think it should be rather than what it actually is.
 Check the raw pkt to see if that is the case please.

Also "02 Oct 15  17:11:36" is exactly 2 hours different than "vrijdag, 02
oktober 2015, 19:11:36 +0200" which is what I am sending in the packed msg.  If
you see different than it seems to me that my additional nonFTN datetime stamp
(between the -={ and }=- characters) is indeed superior to the packed msg
header which is more ammunition in my favour when I claim that the FTSC is
corrupting data.  The only way I could improve it is to change it to RFC-3339
format.

 WvV> 'TZUTC: 0000' kludge

Errrr ... TZUTC: +0000 would be correct.  0000 is corruption by definition
since it lacks the + character as per real world standards for utc offsets. 
Anyone who says different should be taken out back to the woodshed for applied
corrective measures.  :::evil grin:::

Again I must quote Alexey Vissarionov when he said, "For the FTN node, that's
just stupid."

Life is good,
Maurice
