IIRC the default is to always post with UTC, possibly with a modifier showing +/- hours for local time. Usenet is international so "local" time means nothing to people in other time zones. AFAICT, Pan shows the posting time as UTC hh:mm:ss +hhmm by default. I've never looked to see it can be changed. This post should show as something like UTC 21:45:00 +0100 since we are still currently one hour ahead of UTC/GMT in the UK for summertime or daylight savings time as US people might say. -- Climate Change may be raising the sea levels, but the gene pool seems to be drying up. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
