Re: [Orgmode] Timezone Support

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Russel,

I don't see a clean path forward with this, one that would work in a  
predictable way.  If yu travel, you will also be in different time  
zones when you write down appointments, sometimes you might have  
changed the time zone on your laptop, sometime not.  I can think of a  
number of ways how this can go wrong.

So for now:  No action.
