Is any one else using Pan 0.132 under OpenSuse 10.2, specifically with a
BTinternet connection? I note that in articles I've written in the Body
Pane it gives the timezone as abcd -0600, yet in the Header Pane the time
is my (i.e. local, GMT) timezone.

Is this a featurette of Pan (and if so, is there a way to correct it), or
is it more at BT's end (in which case I may have to live with it ;) )

Thanks

Stephan

You need to remember that BTInternet/Openworld/Yahoo news service
is out sourced to giganews. From having a quick look at the postings
from their users it is showing that the server appears to be set to or in a
different timezone.
eg
Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:34:44 -0000
Lines: 4
NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 04:35:01 -0600

From a posting in bt.broadband.support.

Agreed. Yet your posts (seemingly via the same server) appear as I
desire, with GMT timezone in both header and body panes. The "NNTP-
Posting-Date" header confirms the -0600 offset, however, but the "Date"
stays at -0600 for me, and 0000 for you. Something Outlook Express has
right?

The OPs Date: appears to be set to the same timezone as the server (the
Date: header is from the client software when the article is "posted" - the
NNTP-Posting-Date: header is added when the article hits the server.

Looks like a local (to the OP) issue to me.

Hmmm... date shows the date in GMT, where else could it be pulling from?
Paul M is using slrn and you are using KNode - these both seem to act as
I'd like, so I'll give them a tweak and see if I get the same answers (in
alt.test, or similar)
