+One thing I found confusing is that the local date representation is\r

+"notmuch-show-relative-dates" is t. From the fact that you made this\r

+One option which would have the advantage not being as wide on the\r

+\r
+I'm not sure how local time information helps with the sender?  Unless\r
+you happen to be in the same time zone.\r
