Yep, early morning oops.

It's just a value designator (commentary). I thought PMMail might not like
using GMT. BST (British Standard Time). BDT (British Daylight Time) :)

Which zero (Offset, starting day, ending day)? My TZ variable uses zero
and it works. I would agree about last Sunday except my TZ variable works
so it would have to be for starting week. That could be easily checked -
TZ=GMT0BST,3,4,0,3600,10,-1,0,7200,3600

For those who may be interested, I don't know how PMMail was written but I
have attached a "C" Runtime documentation excerpt for the TZ variable.

ATB,
