R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

LocalTimezone support would be *really* helpful for the email module.  It would 
allow us to have unambiguous semantics for datetime objects representing 
timestamps exacted from or inserted into email messages (see issue 665194 for 
recent discussion).  The email module is already trying to handle timestamp 
translation, and I'd be willing to bet it is buggier than the proposal here.

At one point I even started to copy the LocalTimezone class from the docs into 
the email module.  I implemented a naive extension of the current formatdate 
function instead, but after Alexander's feedback on #665194 I think the naive 
implementation is not a good idea.
