Description
In this image, on the left is the email subscription, on the right the webpage from the #polyglots post here
I expected to see something like Wednesday, 29 March 2017, 17:00 GMT+11
which is via the [time]
shortcode [time]Wednesday, March 29, 2017, 06:00 UTC[/time]
. Instead there is no time and date in the email:

Seems like the easiest change is to ignore [time]
and [/time]
when sending emails, but I'm open to better alternatives. Thoughts?

- Keywords needs-patch removed
These emails are sent by Jetpack, which doesn't support custom shortcodes: https://jetpack.com/support/subscriptions/#why-are-my-shortcodes-not-rendering-correctly
Unfortunately I'm not aware of any work around for that though - @kraftbj ? (Can we get Jetpack to support the [time] shortcode maybe?)

We would need to commit it to WP.com overall (not just part of o2, where it lives now), but it is definitely something we can consider.
I think we might have some workarounds, let me take this ball and see where I can take it.
This ticket was mentioned in Slack in #meta by sergey. View the logs.

@gibrown Based on your comment in Slack, can we consider this fixed?

@obenland kinda fixed yes. I am not sure that the time zone stuff is handled correctly. I think the time in the emails may either always be UTC or be Dallas. But I couldn't find an example email to be sure.

Replying to obenland:
I'm leaning towards considering it fixed. @netweb?
I'll defer to @jeffpaul, how are you formatting the make/core weekly emails for this at the moment?

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
@obenland I found an email. Ya it is displaying it in UTC (at least for me). That seems sufficient I would say, so I'd say let's call this fixed. I'm not really sure we'd have good data to be sure what timezone to use for everyone anyways.

@netweb the formatting that I'm using on make/core is:
[time]June 6, 2018 at 20:00 UTC[/time] / June 6, 2018 at 20:00 UTC
I'll check and see how things output on my next couple posts and see if it displays the time within the shortcode or not (previously it was stripped out of emails).
Another case today via https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/07/4-8-1-bug-scrubs/
