I know, and I even thought about implementing such a function in FMail. But it
would be difficult to do it right. Because for instance there are messages
without the TZUTC kludge. How do you sort those. I you use TZUTC 0000 as
default, they will probably end up in the wrong order. I thought about creating
a table for this that couples the netnumber to a particular timezone, but there
probably are nets, that have nodes in different timezones. And of course there
are nodes that are in nets that are not in their timezone. So lots of things
that can go wrong, so I never took the time. ;)
Bye, Wilfred.
