sup talk - Oct 2007 - displaying message timestamp in different timezones

Hi,

When reading emails from people in other timezones, Mutt offers the option to 
display the message timestamp in either the sender''s or the
receiver''s timezone.

Does sup have a similar option, or how does it deal with timezones? It seems
that timezones are not considered and that the sent time is simply shown without
computing the equivalent time in my local timezone. Doing so is confusing, and, 
as a side-effect, emails are ordered incorrectly (emails sent 5 minutes ago in a
US timezone are thought to be older than emails sent two hours ago in a EU 
timezone).

Sup uses Time.parse, which is supposed to take into account the
timezone, assuming the date is in proper rfc822 format. I haven''t spent
any time on this than the bare minimum to get it working, though, so
I''m
not terribly surprised it''s doing something wrong.

What it should do is convert everything to the local timezone, and never
display any date that isn''t in the local timezone. (Except when viewing
the raw headers, of course).

I''ve added this to the TODO, tentatively for 0.3.
