>Anything being done with this ? I don't think anybody is working on this. In my case, my server is always in UTC (GMT +0:00) and when I get emails, my email client calculates the right time for my zone for me. Thus, I don't see a need from my end. Now, for those who have their servers with different timezones than UTC, then they probably should hack a bit the MailingList class and submit a patch so that we can test/commit this. Remember that the crontab uses the mailing list class functions directly now. So, there is no need to change the cron script anymore. >>Just downloaded the last version of the mailing list and crontab script >>and was very pleased to see it finally working again! >> >>However, there is one little bug in it still - it doesn't use the time >>zone stuff :o/ In my case, I'm located in Australia, my hosting server is >>on the east coast and my readers are all in Norway.
