I've found ~/.claws-mail/vcalendar/internal.ifb which contains:
TZOFFSETFROM
 :+000000
TZOFFSETTO
 :+000000
TZNAME
 :Greenwich meridian time

These don't look good at all...  How do they get set?  What's the correct
format for the offsets?  :-040000 or :-000400 ? Other?

Tried changing :+000000 to :-040000 and bug still present.  Shut down CM
and values have been overridden back to originals, so this is not the
"fix"...  Ideas?

Thanks,
Pierre
