Feedburner email feed time

[Don Chambers]

Most of the servers I use have the same time zone as the site it is hosting.

A relatively new server I am dealing with has it's time set to GMT. As a result, I have configured s9y to use a server time offset of -5 hours as the site is in the US Eastern Time zone. So, if GMT is 20:00 (8pm), the site is 15:00 (3pm). $entry.timestamp reflects this server time offset and creates the entry at 15:00.

I have feedburner's email subscription service enabled on this site. When I receive an email feed, the post time has an additional -5 hours added to the post time in addition to the -5 hour server time offset..... So, if I post an entry at server time (GMT) of 20:00, $entry.timestamp is 15:00 (GMT-5) and the Feedburner email feed is 02:00 (GMT -5 -5).

Looking at the source of the rss feed, it says <pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:00:55 +0000</pubDate>

Feedburner uses the rss2 feed. Is this a quirk of Feedburner, or something the core s9y files are not interpreting correctly?
