Now fixed: No, not fixed. Keeping patch dates in UTC *corrupts* the date. I'll ask people to stop using patchworks if it cannot keep track of emailed dates. The date very much is a local time WITH A TIMEZONE. And it does matter. > $ wget -qO - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/249598/mbox/ | grep ^Date > Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2013 05:42:54 -0000 No. The date from the email was Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 15:42:54 +1000 and we want *that* date. Not some random date that patchwork makes up that has no relevance. I know you have that date, because it shows up when asking for the headers in patchwork. Just use the right one, don't make up incorrect ones.
