I miss some of the Gnus "wash" functions available for message display.
There was one that either reformatted the Date: header into my time
zone, or displayed the Date in terms of elapsed time from now (e.g. 1
hour ago, 1 day ago, etc.). I don't remember which, but I'd be happy
with either.
Has anybody integrated a feature like that into notmuch.el? It wouldn't
be hard, but I'd feel dumb if I did the work and there was some variable
I could set to get a similar effect.

I personally use
http://mid.mail-archive.com/1427132722-20346-1-git-send-email-tomi.ollila@iki.fi
-- this shows (date) in local time in addition to the default Date:
in case time zones differ...

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
