TheBat! knows to respond to a double-left-click on a URL shown in a message, by calling your default browser. The trick is to inform your system that a particular browser is your default browser.

I think that if we calculate/read the message's GMT hour, we can only be off by 0 hours, + 24 hours, or -24 hours, because GMT is GMT no matter which side of the International Date Line the message was sent from. I infer that there are only twelve (a very finite number) of possible offsets: EDT: -4, -28, -4+24=+20, -28+24=-4 -4-24=-28, -28-24=-52 EST: -5, -29, -5+24=+19, -29+24=-5 -5-24=-29, -29-24=-53 I can modify TZSelect to check for twelve (rather than four) offsets, if you think it necessary. === It occurs to me that Windows knows what time zone my clock thinks it's in, and Windows knows (or has calculated) whether to keep Daylight or Standard Time.

I have no idea of how to do it, but I'd like to determine the name of my local (EST/EDT) day that corresponds to a message's day.

Thank you for your answer, Januk.
Fortunately your message's time, 23:47 in the GMT-8 time zone is the day
before GMT's day. So your TZSelect yielded "DST" (the result that
would be yielded when TZOffset yields anything other than "-4" in the
problem I originally outlined), instead of the "EST" I expected.
I decided to test TZOffset, by QINCLUDEing TZOffset in my original
reply template instead of QINCLUDEing TZSelect there. Sure enough,
TZOffset yielded "-29". After some thought, I realized that for a few
hours each day, GMT's day is Eastern (Standard/Daylight) Time's
tomorrow. Since midnight is 00 hours, 1 AM is 01 hours, ..., TZOffset
yields a difference that's off by 24 hours, during the time when GMT
day is ahead of Eastern (Standard/Daylight) Time. As a result, there
are four (NOT two) possible differences that TZOffset can yield:
-5 during Eastern Standard Time (EST), when the message's GMT
day is the same as EST's equivalent day.
-29 during Eastern Standard Time (EST), when the message's GMT
day is EST's equivalent day's tomorrow.
-4 during Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), when the message's GMT
day is the same as EDT's equivalent day.
-28 for Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), when the message's GMT
day is EDT's equivalent day's tomorrow.
Fortunately for me, TZSelect was just an IF, THEN, ELSE statement in
disguise , so even an old hardware engineer could understand it
. I was able to account for the four possibilities by
changing TZSelect to:
=[Begin TZSelect QT]=
%IF:"%QInclude='TZOffset'"="-5":"EST"%-
%IF:"%QInclude='TZOffset'"="-4":"EDT"%-
%IF:"%QInclude='TZOffset'"="-29":"EST"%-
%IF:"%QInclude='TZOffset'"="-28":"EDT"%-
=[End TZSelect QT]=
I tested everything with "today messages" and "tomorrow messages."
Then I set my clock back to August, and rechecked everything in
Eastern Daylight Time. Everything works.
Januk, thank you again for your help. Particularly, thank you for
making me think.

Automatic time zone change in the spring and fall
At the end of October, my system's clock automatically changed back
from Daylight to Standard time. But my TheBat! reply template changed
only partially. The time show is right, but I noticed today (several
weeks late!) that the time zone had to be corrected manually.
I %INCLUDE the following file in my reply template:
%WRAPPED='%SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)^Date\:\s*?((.*?[\d]{4})\s*?([\d]{0,2}\:%-
[\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\s*?(.*))"%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%HEADERS"%-
%SUBPATT="2" %SUBPATT="3"[GMT%SUBPATT="4"]%-
(%OTIME EST here)
Is there a way I can fix my template, so that "EST" or "EDT" will be
given in the quote, in automatic accordance with my system time?
I have no idea of how to do it, but I thought that I might want to:
1. Compute (or get) the original message's GMT hour.
2. Compute the difference between the message's GMT hour and the
%OTIME hour.
3. If the difference is 5 hours, "EST" will be used.
4. If the difference is not 5 hours "EDT" will be used.
