Hey Tony!

 TL> Story of my life

Excellent.  Speaking of which, what do you think about the above extra-special
datetime stamp?  I was thinking of using the %s and possibly the %N that
created the one between the '-={ }=-' in the msg header instead of the ftn
one.  That way the enduser could configure whatever style of datetime stamp
they want as far as their display is concerned.  The obsolete ftn one can be
tacked on once any messages are packed for distribution beyond the host node.

As an example the above datetime in the header would be "1462028
04.931189447".  That can be converted with;

  :read !date --date="@1462028804.931189447"
Sat Apr 30 15:06:44 UTC 2016

which is the standard output for 'date' on any Linux system I have ever seen,
including the UTC part.

Life is good,
Maurice
