Hi

I agree that something like this would be useful. I made some
suggestions further down in the thread Tomi linked to above: in
particular I think there should be three possibilities -- show original
date, date in my timezone, or both.

As three of us seem to be thinking of patching/writing our snippets to
do this, I think it could well be worth including in notmuch. I am happy
to review a patch.

Best wishes

Mark
