[VoIP] DST change in Windows, clarification

[Steph Kerman]

That would make sense.

When I was playing around with manual adjustments I found that although
changing my TOD or TZ setting immediately changed the timestamp on the
very next POP or SMTP message I sent or received, even closing and
reopening the browser after changing the TOD or TZ settings did not seem
to affect the timestamps on webmail messages.  I was sending test
messages in both directions from my POP mail account to Yahoo and Gmail
webmail accounts to see the effect.

I did not reboot the machine though after making the TOD and TZ
changes.  I found that the timestamps on the webmail messages were
unaffected by the changes I made.  That is to say, the webmail messages continued to have incorrect timestamps.
