    Log Message:
    Initialize time zone variable (zone)

    As found and reported by Talisam author, apam (HAPPYLND).

    sscanf() won't initialize the buffer of the argument passed if the format string is not matched, so when there was no hexadecimal/SMB timezone value, the timezone specified in the ISO date/time string (if any) would be overwritten with 0, converted from the uninitialized 'zone' variable (unlikely to be valid hex-ASCII chars). Thanks apam!

    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
