Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 18:08:16 +0100 From: Markus Kuhn <Markus.Kuhn@cl.cam.ac.uk> Message-ID: <E14uH9k-0002OP-00@wisbech.cl.cam.ac.uk> | Interesting bit from the new RFC 2822, which supersedes the RFC 822 | Internet email header format: I'm not sure it is all that interesting really. I mean, when was the last time anyone actually saw one of those one letter military type timezones (which can't even express anything not an even hour from UTC) other than possibly Z in an e-mail? Also note from RFC1123 (October 1989) The military time zones are specified incorrectly in RFC-822: they count the wrong way from UT (the signs are reversed). As a result, military time zones in RFC-822 headers carry no information. so there isn't really anything new in 2822 (other than perhaps the addition of "-0000" to say "I have no idea" as a formalism). kre
