    Apam,

    I just noticed something with MagickaBBS. When I type a message into an
    echo, such as this one, it will not put the correct time into the
    message. Either that, or Mystic isn't reading it correctly.

    For example, as I'm typing this message, it is roughly 12:04am Monday
    17APR. Let's see what time is put onto this message...

    Ok, in Magicka it showed the right time, but when the message got to the
    Mystic system, the time was off by +6 hours.

    Any ideas?

    My guess is it's timezone related. are you in +6 or -6 timezone?

    Right now, yes. Mountain Daylight Time is -6 UTC. Magicka is using UTC for echomail?
