I know the last long thread about this in 2008[1] indicated that this was unlikely to be supported, and a thread in 2011 just referred to the same issue[2], pointing out that this would likely involve a fantastic amount of work. For me, being able to specify times in the file in UTC, and then converting to the local timezone for everything else might be enough... but I'd like to contribute to an existing effort/design if at all possible. 1: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5145 2: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/40732 -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I'm So Meta, Even This Acronym -- xkcd http://xkcd.com/917/
