   Ugh, I'm tired of seeing email with Date: headers in UTC. Unfortunately this means that I'm going to need an Emacs date/time library for this, unless Emacs already has it built in somewhere (unlikely, but I guess I'll be searching the existing standard mail handling stuff).

     @cks Shouldn't emails be sorted according to received-data anyway? (Although that's not in the headers so maybe exclusive to like Maildir)

     @lanodan I see them sorted in received order, but I sometimes want to see when a particular message was sent in my local time while reading it.

     (The trigger case was 'this event is starting in <X> minutes', which I only saw after getting home from a bike ride, and I was thinking 'was this sent recently or not so recently?')

     @cks Ah yeah, luckily I haven't had this case yet.

     Maybe it's rare enough for manually reaching for date -d to be fine? (Note: The GNU implementation of it is awful and won't return errors if it failed to parse, but email dates are in a standard format so should be fine)
