Close.  For whatever reason, localtime takes a pointer to a time_t,
not a time_t (even though time_t is just a number).  You'll need
something like

time_t date;

date = notmuch_message_get_date(node->envelope_file);
info = localtime(&date);

Ah, C.  "I'm sure they meant for that number that looks nothing like a
pointer to actually be a pointer that could corrupt memory, disclose
private information, or crash the program.  I'll just convert it for
them real quick..."
