I added the WhenWritten field, haven't added when exported or when
imported yet because it occured to me that they might be different to the
when written timezone.

Anyway, I'm hoping this message displays the correct TZ for synchronet
sysops being subjected to my messages :)

Ok, I'm at a bit of a loss here.

WhenWritten: 20211116124208+1000

Is from a headers.dat i just posted and intercepted..

Do I need a trailing space?

I'm probably totally wrong with the following, and it's probably
something simple i've missed on my side but...

Looking at the synchronet side, here:

https://ftp.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/src/sbbs3/qwktomsg.cpp

I notice it sets the timezone from the ISO date/time str, then checks for
the location hex string with sscanf

I'm not an expert on sscanf (I've hardly ever used the scanf functions)
but I think:

sscanf(p,"%*s %s",zone);

would ignore the first string (the iso date/time) look for a space, then
import a string which I guess would be null as it doesn't exist.

So, if it doesn't have the space, would zone remain uninitialized? And
possibly have junk in it that doesn't parse with strtoul? and lead to a timezone of 00:00

Like I said I'm probably wrong.

No, I think you're right (zone is uninitialized and will remain so). Of course, it's too late for all the builds of sbbs that are already out in the wild, but I will still fix this. So it's probably best if you just include the UTC offset in 16-bit hexadecimal too then, just be the most compatible.

Ok, Hopefully this message should have it... I'm not counting on it being correct, but hopeful :)

Might help if i do it in hexidecimal.
