I don't like the way TB does it either. What it actually does is
transform the senders time to your time, correcting using the relative
GMT. That's reasonable for listing by creation time but the problem is
as you say. When you choose to reply to the message, it's your time
and not the senders that's placed in the intro line. This confused a
few of my correspondents when I first started using TB. They quite
rightly indicated that they didn't send the message at the stated time
and I had to be clarifying.
What, I've done is to place in my templates my GMT, and in so doing,
put the stated time in perspective. When the sender sees the GMT and
makes his corrections, then he'll see that the time is in fact
correct. I, however, dislike this since the message is a reply to the
sender and hence it's more appropriate to state the original message
creation time in his/her time zone.
