That's probably correct if you're only considering what happens today, and probably (or perhaps) tomorrow. But the timezone database wants to also consider the past, so timestamps made years ago can be correctly interpreted. To answer Jesper's question, you should (if you are able) try to give information on where those old timezones applied, when they were in use (just what were the boundaries of applicability). The timezone database itself doesn't care (we're not cartographers). but others do. kre ps: could we please delete from the list anyone who has a mailer that (insanely) sends disposition notifications (or return receipts, or whatever you want to call them) to the list, instead of to the address requested. Then once we've found and eliminated all of those, we can delete from the list anyone stupid enough to send messages to a mailing list requesting disposition notification, and so feeding the bugs in all those broken mailers.
