Anything else in an international forum such as this is little other
than a disregard for clear communication.

I don't remember whether the format you see above is purely taken from
the OS, or if a hidden pref plays a part. It's possible
mailnews.reply_header_type may have something to do with it.
The time you see above is actually a semi-manual entry. SM lays it out,
but the TZ is fixed via hidden pref and I have to adjust it manually
before sending or else it looks like the post quoted from looks like it
originated in my TZ whether it did or not.
