Done.

Done.  Selecting from the server will give you the time in CST.  You
will need to use the newtime function to convert to a different
timezone within the US.  Outside the US, you'll need to write
something else.

messageid is now the primary key.
Indexes on hdr_messageid and hdr_inreplyto have been created.

Changes to the THETIPS table have been made.  tip_id is the primary
key and message_id is a foreign key to the THELIST table.  tip_date is
not null.
