There is no TZUTC kludged.

A TZUTC was detected with OpenXP. That's the "EDA" above.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then why make it a point to tell people they don't have it?

I'm not sure, but Zeus probably can't produce a TZUTC kludge. We should check in an AmigaNet area, where the experts are. ;-)

So what if he can't? Maybe his system is using UTC and internet RFC capable clients like OpenXP, as well as my client are correct?

Here is what his message date looked like here, which agrees with August's:

Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:33:53 +0000

.. and here's the date of your message that I'm replying to:

Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 19:30:22 +0200

I didn't need a TZUTC kludge for either of those..

Regards,
Nick

Sigh, copy and pasted that off the wrong message, here is the right one that matches the one August posted:

Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2025 23:51:40 +0000

;)

I don't know how this works in OpenXP, but there wasn't a TZUTC kludge in the original message.

Is the "+0" maybe specifying UTC time, which could be identical to the absence of a TZUTC kludge?

I think you've got that right. In lieu of ZZUTC, EDT would
always be W+0 (zero offset), even if the offset is officially
UTC+0

So what are we saying here? Am I not sending a field that I should be
sending? The only thing I can think of that I can change would be the
packet header type I'm using...? I would have to go to an older type 2, but I'm using the 0039 (matching my hub).

I'm not sure what else I can change... I wonder if I have a setting
disabled in my zmp.cfg file for the Zeus mailer...

Thanks guys, getting close to having this stuff all work.

It's not the pkt type. It's your message editor that should add it.

Because it's a standard, most messages in fido have it, and it contains useful information.

So what if he can't?

Then we are done investigating...

Maybe his system is using UTC

Then the kludge would be: TZUTC: 0000

and internet RFC capable clients like OpenXP, as well as my client are correct?

Your message contains: @TZUTC: -0500 ?

Here is what his message date looked like here, which agrees with August's:

Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:33:53 +0000

The +0200 comes from the TZUTC kludge! Without the kludge you can't know if the message date is my local time, or UTC.

Then, maybe it's possible Synchronet removes the kludge, puts the proper information in the "Date" field for viewing, and then separates and re-adds it to exported messages. With this newsreader, I see no TZUTC kludge, even on your messages. Yet I know you use one. *shrug*
