Hello The Bat! developers,
I'm using The Bat! Version 1.48 Beta/1 (but this applies to 1.47 as well)
Serial Number BB892117
under Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 4
and would like to report a bug
The bug description:
the displayed local time of a message is not always correct. With
'displayed local time' i refer to the time displayed in the
'created' column or the cretaion time message header _and_ in the
%OTime/%ODate macro.
Bug: When the local time zone has a period of daylight savings
or summertime, this is ignored when calculating the local time.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
/1/ if your local time zone has no period of summertime, change
your machine's setting to one that does have, eg Western Europe
(GMT+01, Brussels, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna).
/2/ look at some message written one week ago (western Europe
changed back from summertime last sunday). In the creation
time message header you see eg
Sa, 28 Okt 2000 17:39:19 (Sat, 28 Oct 2000 18:39:19 +0200)
(for easier explanation I picked a message from my own time
zone) This is not what i'd expect because the local time for
this message was then 18:39:19, as the local timezone _was_
+0200 (now it is +0100)
/3/ reply to this message. If you use %ODate/%OTime in your reply
template, you can observe the same error
(okay, there are nice macros to extract the time including
timezone from the Date: header field, but these don't work for
other languages than english...)
Regards,
Peter Steiner
