    Log Message:
    Default FTN charset to CP437 (not ASCII) for QWK-imported messages

    A QWKnet tagline usually contains CP437 character 254 and if/when appended to
    a message during export, would "convert" the message to CP437 thus making the "ASCII" charset advertisement incorrect.

    If a FIDO CHARSET value was already specified (e.g. in HEADERS.DAT), that
    value will (still) not be overridden. So the *original* import via QWK (before it gets exported to a QWKnet) is where this change will take effect.

    Fix for issue #741

    Log Message:
    Don't use QWK reply message date unless time zone is also specified

    For regular user QWK Relpy packet uploads only, if no timezone is specified (e.g. via @TZ kludge or HEADERS.DAT), then over-ride the message's "posted" date/time with the current date/time since we're going to set the message's timezone to the BBS's local timezone as well.

    This is a fix for issue #783 reported by Chris Jacobs.

    If/when we support user-specified timezones, then this likely would be a
    place where we'd want to use the user's timezone.
