Yes, but I have dates in the format specified in the earlier mail (with a
different timezone-offset) and want to convert them to the current timezone.
The first step was just to get an example.

So 28 Nov 2004 12:02:18 +0000 in the example is not the current time, it is a
time which I got from an external source (and I can not assume that the date is
in UTC).

For your example to work the "..." would still have to include %z in its
format-string, and this doesn't seem to work (if I'm not doing something
stupid, if so please tell me).

Thanks for your response anyway. Any more takers?
