<p>Notice that <tt>-0500</tt> is used for EST.  However, in MHonArc,
EST is mapped to <tt>0500</tt>, since <tt>0500</tt> must be added to
the specified date/time to get the UTC date/time.

<P>MHonArc has a default list of timezone acronyms defined with
time offsets.  Therefore, the list given in the resource file will
augment the default list.  If "<CODE>Override</CODE>" attribute is
specified, any local lists specified in previous <CODE>TIMEZONES</CODE>
elements are replaced.
</P>

<P>Much of the time, the date used by MHonArc has a time
offset instead of a timezone acronym.  However, mail messages may
contain timezone acronyms in received/sent dates and MHonArc
must be told what hour offset to add to the give time to get UTC time
to properly sort messages by date.  </P>
