Description

TIMEZONES maps timezones to hour offsets from UTC/GMT (Universal Coordinate Time). The TIMEZONES resource can be defined only by the TIMEZONES element The format of each line of content is "timezone_acronym:hour_offset". Examples of timezone acronyms are: UTC, PDT, EST. The hour offset should be positive for timezones West of UTC, and negative for time zones East of UTC.

MHonArc has a default list of timezone acronyms defined with hour offsets. Therefore, the list given in the resource file will augment the default list, unless the "Override" attribute is specified. If "Override" is specified, the default list, along with any other lists specified in previous TIMEZONES elements, are discarded, and only the timezone acronyms specified in the TIMEZONES element will be used.

Much of the time, the date used by MHonArc has an hour offset instead of a timezone acronym. However, mail messages may contain timezone acronyms in received/sent dates and MHonArc must be told what the hour offset from UTC the timezone acronym represents in order to properly sort messages by date.
