The messages do have the correct timestamp on them.

Outlook is broken, and Netscape is doing the right thing. Messages should
be timestamped in UTC -- the mail user agent is supposed to translate this
into whatever human-preferred form you want, be that a different time zone,
or even a different time convention (pre-Gregorian calendar, or metric time
perhaps).
So the question here isn't "why doesn't qmail do this", the question is
"why hasn't Microsoft fixed Outlook to display UTC times properly in local
time format?".
