I think it would be good in both places, but definitely in the lower
pane where the message is displayed.
ok, it can be done. However the lower pane Date: line comes from the
email
header without any modification, so the user can see clearly that the
email
was sent at that specific time, including the timezone info (+/-NN:00)
So please confirm to change the displayed value from "21:46:11 +1000"
to
"14:46:11 -0700" (or perhaps it makes sense to omit the timezone
offset,
ie. "14:46:11" only).
Appreciate your attention on this!
no problem. I'm about to add a new config option, eg. TIMEZONE_OFFSET
with an empty value ("") meaning don't alter the Date: header. However
if you set it, then it rewrites the Date header.
Changing the date in the upper pane requires the rewrite of the sent
time. After the sent value (parsed from the Date: header) is stored
the timezone info is lost.

ahead yours, that's why the Received line show 14:46, but the Date
header
(which is set by the sender) shows 21:46.
There was a debate whether to use what is in the Date header or the
actual
server time when it's archived.
Or it's possible that I misunderstand the whole thing, and you want
me to
fix the stored timestamp value extracted from the Date: header, and
make +0000
as -0700, ie. substract 7*3600 sec, because the 14:46 email shows
up among
the 21:46 emails even though it arrived much sooner.
The Received line is from my Exchange server and 14:46 was the local
time here when the message was received. Exchange uses UTC for the
Date: timestamp in the header of all emails. I would like the
search
results in Piler to display messages in the local time of the
server,
regardless of what the Date: stamp has... Does this make sense? So
if the sending mail server uses +0000 (UTC), Piler would adjust for
local time, say -0700 (Denver time) and display that... I cannot
change the way Exchange stamps the Date to the messages. Piler
would
need to do the adjustment, not in the database, just in the web ui
when it displays the messages. That way no matter what time zone
the
server is set to, Piler would display the messages with the local
time. For example, If the message was stamped with -0500 (New
York),
piler would adjust by -0200 to get local time here in Denver. I
think
this is just a cosmetic thing, no need to alter the way messages are
stored by piler.
Hope this makes sense!
I guess so. Just one last(?) question: where should this cosmetic fix
happen? In the upper pane where year-month-day is displayed or in the
lower pane where you can actually see the message, and the exact Date
header is shown?
