Out of curiosity, how does this syntax interact with timezones?

If i send a mail in the wee hours of the 27th from the east coast of the
US (GMT-0500) and jrollins reads it from the west coast of the US
(GMT-0800) where it is still the 26th, should our notmuch queries behave
differently when searching for this message?

are we tracking the TZ of the Date: header in the database at all?  does
it make sense to take that into account for these queries?
