I think we're confusing the time format with the time value. UTC is
basically the same as the epoch time (from 'time' function call).
You can format the UTC/GMT/epoch time in any number of ways. The
+hhmm format is just one of them. You can also replace +0000 with
UT, Z or GMT for example or +0800 with PST, but the time would be
appropriate to that zone then in the date/time portion.
So this message was dated:
Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:03:55 -0500
which is the same as:
Wed, 14 Dec 2005 09:03:55 -0800
or
Wed, 14 Dec 2005 17:03:55 UT
