AFAICT, KMail sets the date of the messages to 
KDateTime::currentLocalDateTime() (messagecomposer in kdepim). The 
formatting is done by DateFormatter::rfc2822() (kmime in kdepimlibs). 
The timezone is calculate in DateFormatter::zone(). This should probably 
be changed to using KTimeZone instead of custom (and probably incorrect) 
code.
