Re: Mailing list annoyance

> Anything being done with this ?

I don't think anybody is working on this. In my case, my server is always in 
UTC (GMT +0:00) and when I get emails, my email client calculates the right 
time for my zone for me. Thus, I don't see a need from my end.

Now, for those who have their servers with different timezones than UTC, 
then they probably should hack a bit the MailingList class and submit a 
patch so that we can test/commit this.

Remember that the crontab uses the mailing list class functions directly 
now. So, there is no need to change the cron script anymore.
