Bj"orn is correct that 1319 UTC is 0919 EDT, but this is not the same as
9:19 pm. 1319 UTC is 9:19 am EDT and 8:19 am EST.
Please always provide UTC date and time. Use YYYY-MM-DD (or maybe
YYYY/MM/DD) and HH:MM:SS.SSSSSS. The punctuation seems to serve little
purpose, so I often write YYYYMMDD HHMMSS.SS. If you don't operate
routinely in UTC, and might be making a conversion error, especially in a
transitional month like October, please also provide your village idiot
time and your presumed conversion, so analysts and readers can detect any
possible ambiguity. If you observe during the "defined hour of
intentional ambiguity", please explain that.
Please do not quote large portions of previous messages, except under
unusual circumstances. That is friendly behavior on UseNet, but not on a
mailing list. Usually 1 or 2 lines of quote is quite adequate.
Cheers.
