--- Comment #2 from Matt Whitlock <kde at mattwhitlock.name> ---
This still a problem in KMail 5.4.0.

My local time zone is America/New_York. I received a message with header "Date:
Tue, 10 Jan 2017 16:51:49 +0000". When replying to this message, the template
variable %OTIME expands to "4:51 PM", which is arguably okay, but the template
variable %OTIMELONG expands to "4:51:49 PM EST", which is just wrong. Evidently
the time zone information from the original message's Date header is being
discarded, and the unqualified time is being interpreted as a local time.

Another example: original message contains "Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2017 13:31:25
-0600", but %OTIMELONG in reply expands to "1:31:25 PM EST", which again is
wrong. The time zone information in the original message's Date header has been
discarded, and the time has been interpreted as a local time.
