#720 posting date on archive pages is wrong

The posting date/time shown near the top of archived
messages is wrong and does not reflect the timezone in
the Date; header of the posting.

Only posting from within the same timezone as the MM
server are rendered correctly.

In the archives of lists where there are posts from users
in multiple timezones this means that the archive order
and juxtapostioning of postings is wrong.

The problem is cause by a defect in the
pipermail.Archive._set_date() function in
$build/Mailman/Archive/pipermail.py

The attached patch file, tz-2.1.2-0.1.patch, corrects the
problem.

It will be necessary to use $prefix/mailman/arch --wipe
to fully correct existing archives.

Apply the patch from within the MM build directory with
following command:

patch -p1 < path-to-patch-file

    No. It is no rubbish, just the orgianl patch to fix it.

    Hopefully, tz-2.1.2-0.2.patch does this biz.
