Howdy,

I'm posting some messages with txt2pkt - but the messages are missing the TZUTC
kludge. Setting the var TZUTC didnt do anything.

Is there a variable to tell txt2pkt the current timezone, so that messages posted have the right timestamp?

AFAIK no.

:(

I did work out, if I set TZ=0000 before calling txt2pkt, the packet was atleast
rendered with UTC time - and thus was the correct time (although being in UTC)...

It would be great if it could detect and use /etc/timezone or /etc/localtime and set the TZ kludge appropriately...
