           Summary: kmail loses local timezone
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail@kde.org
        ReportedBy: davidh@alchimia.co.uk


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) 
OS:          Linux

When I recently upgraded my RedHat 8.0 system to kde 3.0.5 (binary rpms from \
kde.org), I found that emails I sent using kmail had a time on them 5 hours in the \
future.  This appears to be because kmail (or some supporting program underneath it) \
is not correctly picking up my timezone (London UK).  Kmail in kde 3.0.3 was working \
fine in this regard.  In email headers I now get things like:

Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 09:41:53 -0500
User-Agent: KMail/1.4.3

The -0500 is a signal to add 5 hours to the date the recipient sees, so in this case \
it would appear to have been sent at 14.41.  Previously the -0500 had been +0000 \
(i.e. GMT) which I would expect.  There may be an option somewhere to correct this \
trivially but I can't find it, either in the GUI or command line options. \
