Subject: Wrong timezone in Pine Date field

I'm running Pine 3.89 under HP-UX 9.01 on various 700 series HPs.

The timezone (TZ) is set to GMT0BST.  The UK reverted to GMT on 23rd
October, and all other programs on our systems are correctly reporting
the time in GMT (including sendmail and other MUAs). However, Pine is
creating date stamps of the form:

Date: Mon, 7 Nov 1994 17:08:54 +0100 (BST)

where the actual time is in GMT (i.e. it was 17:08 local time when the
mail was sent), and hence the time is an hour out.

Is there some configuration I've missed to fix this?  I couldn't find
anything in the FAQ, or anything in the 3.91 release notes to suggest
3.91 fixes this.

The timezone code has been completely rewritten since Pine 3.89.  In
particular I believe the HP port did have a bug like you describe...
