Hm. Ooop -- the clock on this machine runs 12 minutes fast. Er, uhm.
Anyway,
(current-time-string (current-time))
=> "Fri Jul 9 22:59:05 1999"
which is the local time, here, now. (After fixing the clock.)
But what am I getting at? Uhm -- perhaps the bug isn't in the
generating-the-Data-header part, but in the parsing part?
