Re: [Evolution] Where does 'Date' info come from?

[Eric Lambart <ximian nomeaning net>]

Evolution always seems to display message times (at least in the msg
index) in your local time zone.

I would guess that the "Sent" date on the message is GMT/UTC, and since
you appear to be in the Pacific time zone, which is 8 hours behind UTC,
Evolution is simply calculating 11:46 minus 8:00 --> 03:46 PST. You say
that the message was reported sent at 11:46PM, but are you sure of
that?  Are you really saying that it shows 23:46?  I am assuming that it
really just says 11:46 (thus AM), in which my above calculations make
sense :)  In any other case, I have no idea.
