[Kolab-devel] [issue385] toltec creates wrong time in Date: header - Ch

Hi Bernhard,

The use of UTC is applicable to the XML format and not the date header
field. All dates related and relevant to the event object is encapsulated in
the XML data and converted to UTC. RFC 2822 specifies that the local date
should be used for this field. (As far as I can remember)

The actual problem is that the connector did not save the date correctly, it
should read "Thu, 9 Sep 2004 16:51:20 +0200".

I will look into this.
