--- Comment #4 from Sergiu Bivol <sergiu at ase.md> ---
I can confirm this behaviour on Kontact 4.14. 
The message headers contain the time in UTC (for example "Date: Fri, 13 Jun
2014 07:40:23 +0000") but I'm in another time zone (+3000). The person that
sent the mail is in the same time zone as me.

I'd like to have %OTIME taking into account my tome zone, or if that is not
possible, then at least a new command (something like "%OTIMELOCALTZ") that
displays the time of the original message but converted to the local time zone.

This look more like a wish, but it causes inconsistencies in the Kontact
interface: I see "10:40:23" as the time when the email was sent to me, but when
replying to the same email I get %OTIME inserted as 07:40:23.
It also confuses the receiving party, because %OTIME does not print the time
zone near the time it generates.
