My mua (exmh) displays dates as they appear in the mail with the local date in
parenthesis following it. That way I know both when they sent it in their
timezone and also when they sent it in my timezone. Both can be useful at
different times. here's an example:
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 00:11:15 +0200 (Wed 17:11 CDT)
So, I know that message was sent just after midnight where it originated, but
just after 5PM where I am.
Now I know not only how long ago the message was sent, but also that the
author is probably going to bed pretty soon, so I shouldn't anticipate quite
responses.
