> Paul Eggert (eggert at twinsun.com) has informed me that you manage a time
> zone mailing list. I would like to be added to it.

> Paul and I have corresponded over the last year about a list of currently
> used time zone abbreviations that I maintain. I'm attaching it, in case
> you or the readers of your mailing list might be interested in it. Some
> of its entries are controversial, as Paul can attest. :-)
>
> The list grew out of a local need for a function that would convert dates
> and times in mail headers to seconds since the Unix epoch. I would be
> happy to share that code, too, if there is interest.
