+Somebody might like that, but *I* want to be able to see the sender date
+(being it right or wrong, machine cannot be sure but human reader can
+guess better) and local time (a version that is always absolute). In my
+emacs buffer the Date: header in your email currently looked to me like:
+
+Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 12:15:14 +0200  (Sun, 16 Aug 2015 13:15:14 +0300) 
+
+In this case the dates did not make much of a difference (and in this time
+(22:39 +0300)) the message header bar there was (Today 13:15)). Anyway
+sometimes IT matters and in my 80-character terminal window this fits fine.
+
+I don't know better solution and don't know whether there is anyone else
+interested in such a feature so I just keep using this for myself...

+PS: last moment revelation: perhaps I could use just (13:15:14 +0300) there;
+still if I'd be the single user of that...
