Description

Today when most European countries switched to daylight saving time (DST), I noticed a bug in YAM25dev (am using the version from 27 March for m68k on AMIGA OS3.9BB2):

I have the main window listview configured to show the message date. After switching to DST, all times were increased by one hour, including the ones of mails received during standard time.

This is easy to reproduce:

Begin with DST, GMT+2 in my case, note the times displayed for some mails in a folder received during before (GMT+1) and after (GMT+2) the DST switch. Then uncheck the DST switch in the YAM config-"First steps". All times are changed.

Of course one can always open the mail to get the correct time including time zone info form the Date header field, and one may thus argue that this is a case for a feature request. However, I consider this a bug.

Hello,

The bug is still there in YAM 2.6.
Viewing a mail received last summer, the time displayed (now, in March) is what it would be if there were no DST here in Europe. In April, the correct time will be
displayed again.

Regards,
C Oldhoff

The mail is displayed at the last line in the main window list view of messages.

It was sent during last summer at 9:58 CET and I also reside in this time zone.

The main window displays this as 8:58, which would be correct time if their were
no DST in Europe. Only when DST is in effect here the time is correctly displayed
as 8:58.

Since I sometimes need to know exactly when I received a message from someone, I
have to think twice to get it right when DST has changed.

It would be nice if the main window list view of the messages actually displayed
what the time was in my time zone when the message was sent.
