But... debate?

Vertrauen uses Synchronet BBS software and SBBSecho for Fidonet EchoMail, so those support conferences would be the appropriate place to discuss that software.

Okay, that's expected then. The posting date/time is taken from the QWK reply packet, but the timezone information is not part of the original QWK format. Synchronet does support extensions (via @TZ kludge and HEADERS.DAT file) for timezone information in reply packets, but most or all QWK message readers don't support those extensions (https://wiki.synchro.net/ref:qwk).

What QWK messager are you using? Maybe ask its author/maintainer to add support for Synchronet's timezone information in reply packets.
