[JDEV] Message timestamps

[David Waite]

?? how is this too complex? I thought that wass how my machine handles it
already. If you have a list of all the timezones in the world, you match
someone's zone up and go. When you set something up like time zones in
windows, it actually gives you different choices depending on whether or not
you are in an area that does not pay attention to daylight savings (I
believe Indiana is one example)

/me heads off to read up so he isn't talking out of his rear..
