Package: notmuch-emacs
Version: 0.18.1-1
Severity: normal

So, I've struggled with coming up with a citation line format:

 '(message-citation-line-format "On %Y-%m-%d %T %z, %N wrote:")
 '(message-citation-line-function (quote message-insert-formatted-citation-line))

But it localizes the timezone of datestring, rather than simply copying
the datestring from the replied to message. Several other mail clients,
including "notmuch reply", seem to simply copy the datestring including
the timezone data, it quotes using:

But notmuch-emacs does changes the datestring to my locally configured
timezone. As far as I can tell, it can either be configured to use UTC,
or my local timezone only.

David Bremner suggests this may need to be fixed upstream.
