| From: Bret Busby <[email protected]> | I think it far simpler to avoid the use of timezone names, and instead, use | the UTC (/GMT) increment/decrement, as shown in viewing applicable times in | the full header display.
I think that it might be simpler to stop Earth spinning :-) 1. people are accustomed to quantized solar time. (Time Zones were initiated by a guy in my town, Toronto. He was a train guy and time zones made train schedules work better.) 2. much of my communication is local, within my timezone. Especially stuff that requires synchronization. 3. email has always had times with timezones 4. ical deals with timezones. Alpine should deal better with ical timezones. Off topic: Unix and its successors use UTC internally (as much as you can tell). Too bad MSDOS and subsequently Windows do not. _______________________________________________ Alpine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
