            Bug ID: 361441
           Summary: Wrong "Date" headers on sent mail; timezone erronously
                    picked up.
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.10
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: mfs-it at inventati.org

The TZ is CEST. If I send an email at 19:00 CEST, it gets sent as "17:00
+0200". "Fancy headers" will show "17:00". "Brief headers" will show "19:00".
This is utterly misleading. kmail2 should either use UTC time ( "17:00" )  or
CEST time ("19:00 +0200"). Incoming email from people not using kmail will
correctly suit this behaviour.
Side note: it would be nice to see the TZ or the offset in Fancy headers/Brief
headers, but probably this should be considered separately.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.send an email
2.check the Date header on the sent email
3.the header is wrong

Actual Results:  
Wrong date headers make difficult to track the mail order in e.g. a
conversation with many short-timed replies

Expected Results:  
Consistent, correct "Date" headers
