There is no possible comparison of times if there is no
time zone associated with it.  K'leb may have sent his
mail at 8:08 local time, but my mailer claims that it
was sent at 7:08 PDT.  Exactly right.  You can't sort
on date/time unless you know where that timestamp
originated, so if it's unmarked at point of origin
then all bets are off.

Unix systems, from day one, have used GMT for ALL time
stamps, only the display routines converted to local time,
for local consumption.  Stupid PC's used local time for
everything...  Guess which systems don't have problems
with time correlation in a geographically large network?
