Summary: posting date on archive pages is wrong

Initial Comment:
The posting date/time shown near the top of archived 
messages is wrong and does not reflect the timezone in 
the Date; header of the posting.

Only posting from within the same timezone as the MM 
server are rendered correctly.

 In the archives of lists where there are posts from users 
in multiple timezones this means that the archive order 
and juxtapostioning of postings is wrong.

The problem is cause by a defect in the 
pipermail.Archive._set_date() function in 
$build/Mailman/Archive/pipermail.py

The attached patch file, tz-2.1.2-0.1.patch, corrects the 
problem.

It will be necessary to use $prefix/mailman/arch --wipe 
to fully correct existing archives.

Apply the patch from within the MM build directory with 
following command:

patch -p1 < path-to-patch-file
