mailmate shows the date as July 31, 2015 at 21:03
the laptop time here in tokyo when it was written was Aug 01 at 04:03

aha! the last time mailmate was started was some days back in praha or
roma.  so mailmate uses an internal clock, not system, to convert to
local time for the user.  probably not ideal for travelers.

Not an internal clock exactly, rather a timezone value that is copied from the system timezone at launch and not rechecked. A problem easily worked around by restarting MailMate, but certainly a bug. Technically, it *may* be as simple as changing one system call at launch time from defaultTimeZone() to localTimeZone().
