local date
Greets. Is there any intuitive way to get the ``Date:'' header (as shown in the pager) to always show the time converted to my local time zone, or GMT, or any given time zone so long as it's consistent across all messages? Thanks, Keith

Well, I don't know how intutive it is, but there is an easy way to do it.
Simply replace %d with %D in the value of the $index_format
configuration variable. If you have't specified a custom $index_format,
the default is %4C%Z%{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l)%s, so if you set it to
%4C%Z%{%b %D} %-15.15L (%4l)%s you should be good.
That is, you need to put
set index_format=%4C%Z%{%b %D} %-15.15L (%4l)%s
in your .muttrc or .mutt/muttrc.

Whups, I lied. I mean, that would be correct if you were using
%d *outside* of %{...}, but stuff inside %{...} is strftime(3) format
characters, not mutt format characters. To use local time
instead of sender's time with the same strftime format,
just change the {} to []:
set index_format=%4C%Z%[%b %d] %-15.15L (%4l)%s

Ah yes this works well for the index itself. Thanks! However it would
be useful to do the same conversion-to-local-TZ for the 'Date:' header
in the pager. Any ideas?

That's the trick. Thanks a bunch to you and Mark for the quick feedback. I'll RTFM... again. :) -- Isn't it time we care and lose the hate Understand our fears -- Dream Theater, Blind Faith
