It looks like Witango's daylight time handling code is wrong.

Not only this.

PS: ANY NEWS ABOUT WITAN"GO" 6. Or is it a really WIT(h)-ON-"GO"
Mail from Phil (29-04-2008):
Hi all,
Before this thread gets a life of its own let me just say that there is more to
this release as we move to commercial open source model than just software.
We have basically finished the engineering but there are still some legal and
business issues we are continuing to work through.
It all takes time and we are not just sitting here idly. While we have been
waiting for these issue to be resolved we have been adding extra features to
the studio. As soon as I can release v6 I will.
Regards
Phil

Witango shouldn't have its own Timezone rules; Witango should use the
server's local time and offset (from GMT).
However, Witango does need to reformat the time to specific SMTP format.
However, this reformat is the ONLY thing that Witango should be doing.
PDT stands for Pacific Daylight Time and has an offset of -0700.
PST stands for Pacific Standard Time and has an offset of -0800.
13:43:47 -0700 PDT is not equivalent to 2:43:47 PM PDT
It looks like Witango's daylight time handling code is wrong.

does the tango server had its own date rules? I didn't see anything in
witango.ini that set the time zone.
