I've put it on (with /-60 - the cack-handed US programmers should have
programmed it as offset *from* GMT) - but it only helps for those who know
what their offset should be and I think the error is made more obvious by
showing the times.

Readers be aware that, although Brazil mostly changes the clocks in
Spring and Autumn with dates given by rules like ours, there is a
one-week postponement every few years in places like Sao Paulo.
Microsoft may not know that.
