Howdy, Forgive me if this is already known, but I checked the bug list and didn't see it.
It would seem that when Agent makes a call to get the Wine system time, it's returned the BIOS time, but not the adjusted time zone. For example I have set in my KDE environment as the time and as CET (which is where I am.) You see that the time that this email was sent is actually around 15:32 instead of the real 16:32.
Should I submit a bug?

You are wrong. '15:32 +0000' == '16:32 CET'
Whether to post in UTC (as you do) or local time (what you expect) is somewhere configurable in agent.ini. It does not affect the time as you see in the messages pane, that should be the local time.

Thanks for being gentle.
'15:32 +0000' == '16:32 CET'
How's that?

I went looking for this in the help file, and couldn't find it. I don't want to post in UTC. But before I go jumping to the forte newsgroup, i just wanted to make sure that the tune call to the wine system was cool.

"+0" is UTC, CET is "UTC+1"

A clock in Central European Time zone is one hour beyond a clock that displays UTC.

agent.ini -> message -> GMTDate

Then shouldn't it be "15:32 +0100" or "16:32 +0000"?

Thanks, searching the help for "Time Zone" didn't turn that one up. I've changed it, and now it displays the correct time (in the above example "16:32 + 0000" but I fear it's for the wrong reason. Shouldn't it really be sending email with GMTDate2=0 as 15:32+0100?
Thanks,
Rein.

Confusingly (or not, when you think about it), its the other way around: so, "16:32 CET" can be written "16:32 +0100". This is the same time as "15:32 +0000" or "15:32 UTC".
So, whenever you want to convert from localtime to UTC you *subtract* the second number from the first.
See rfc2822 for more details.

Try GMTDates2=0 ^ |
