            Bug ID: 382252
           Summary: "On <DATE> you wrote:" has wrong timezone
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.2.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: charles at derkarl.org
  Target Milestone: ---

My machine is set to a certain timezone (EEST right now). I got an email sent
from someone in a different timezone (PDT). In my inbox, the original email
shows the correct time (i.e., the time as seen from my own timezone).

When I click "Reply", the composer appears and adds the text "On <DATE>
<TIMEZONE> you wrote:". This text has the correct date as seen from the
original author's side (i.e., it shows the date in PDT), but the timezone shows
my timezone.

* Alice writes me an email, the time is 11:00 AM PDT or 09:00 PM.
* My inbox shows Alice's email (correctly) as 09:00 EEST.
* I click "Reply"
* The composer now shows "On 11 July 2017 11:00 AM EEST". It should be either
"11:00 AM PDT" or "09:00 PM EEST"

`date` shows my computer as set to EEST correctly
The inbox is correct
The message headers are correct
