I wouldn't call a new MT tag "a lot of infrastructure". The
implementation should be fairly straightforward and simple, I should think.
For you to use the "MT" command, there is at least one example in the
WriteLetter() function in update.c, but you should be able to find
others by grepping the source for "MT". The handle_mt() function in
client.c would be the place where the new "datetime" tag and its text
would need to be converted into a local time. Other than that the only
necessary change should be to avoid printing the whole line containing
the time in src/log.c, or maybe src/rcs.c, and break the line up into a
series of MT commands.
