I would prefer it to always be in GMT (as pine does it), but I have
seen from my colleagues that the lcoal time is more appreciated by the
average user. I think we discussed this on this list about last month
or so. The result was the suggestion to add "GMT+hhhh" hours to the
Reply Template (see above). I was hoping that TB, which adds/subtracts
the hhhh figure according to your local computer setting and thus
finds the local time, could automatize this as well.

Here is a suggestion: Add a %GMT macro, which would should the
difference between your local time zone and GMT.
