X-Sent is incorrect

X-Sent is incorrect

[Ted Rathkopf]

I upgraded from pgnus 0.90 to 0.96 last night.  This morning I noticed 
that all of my X-Sent headers are 8 hours off.

The last message I received says this:
> Date: Wed Sep 22 11:50:52 1999 --400
> X-Sent: 8 hours, 8 minutes ago

But the date on my machine says this:

rathkopf@tick ~ 34 % date
Wed Sep 22 11:58:52 EDT 1999

Does anyone know where the 8 hour discrepancy is coming from?

Note that your time zone in your message is screwed up.

I would assume that Gnus is smart enough to recognize the double
negative, and assumes that it really means +400, which puts the mail
coming from somewhere in Asia.

Of course, noon in Asia was eight hours earlier than noon in New York
City.

Makes sense, but this didn't happen before I upgraded from 0.90 to
0.96.  And it's not the fault of the sender, unless *your* time zone
is --400, too.

In my mailbox, this is what my message said:

>> Date: 22 Sep 1999 15:33:37 -0400

Of course, I'm still in the stone age with 0.84.

If you do `C-u g' do you actually still have the --400?  Is it like
that in your Incoming file?

Nope.  Plain old -0400 there.

I believe my patch in Message-ID: <5bhfl28q2p.fsf@giga.cs.rochester.edu> 
fixed the --400 problem.
