Patch to messagelib that fixes the problem
QDateTime::time() returns a QTime, which conveys no time zone information.
QLocale::toString(const QTime &, QLocale::FormatType) then assumes that the
passed QTime is a local time. This causes a problem when processing a template
in that the time zone information of the Date header in the original message is
ignored, and the time part is then reinterpreted as a local time, which is
incorrect.
Example illustrating the problem:
Original message header:
Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2017 13:31:25 -0600
%OTIMELONG in reply template expands to:
1:31:25 PM EST
QLocale apparently offers no method to format a QTime with a specific
QTimeZone, so the best that can be done is to convert the QDateTime of the
original message into a local time by calling QDateTime::toLocalTime().
After applying this fix, the above example becomes:
Original message header:
Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2017 13:31:25 -0600
%OTIMELONG in reply template expands to:
2:31:25 PM EST
