The confirmation was sent by the bug system at Sat, 06 Jul 1996
21:48:06 GMT by master's clock (which was probably wrong then), to
[email-masked].

It entered the bug system's sub-MTA, and was delivered at 14:48:10
local time (again, by master's clock) to the main qmail on master, via
SMTP to localhost.  I can reconstruct its Message-ID,
<[email-masked]>.

I see that tapiola.infodrom.north.de has only one MX,
finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE.  Could you therefore please check the
mail logs on finlandia around the 6th and 7th of July for the
Message-ID above.

Your message, the one I'm now replying to, was dated Sun, 7 Jul 96
20:06 MET DST.  This is not as helpful as it could be, because it
doesn't have a numeric timezone and so I don't know what this is in
GMT.  The mailer at gimli.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.DE received it at 7
Jul 1996 18:09:52 -0000, which is good enough for me, though.

You might consider merging bugs 3703 and 3540.

Ian.

... actually, it's even illegal. MET has never been an allowed timezone in  
mail headers, and never will be (I'm on the mailing list for the "drums"  
working group that's revising the mail standards[1], and that's the  
consensus there - numeric time zones are considered vastly superior).

The _only_ allowed time zone names are those in RFC 822 (a bunch of US  
time zones, and GMT, and military time zones that are useless because they  
were specified different from actual military usage).

I just hope no Debian mail or news related package does something like  
this.

can't say which one I'm using off the top of my head, and I can't look it  
up right now.
