Btw, when you do "--local-zone", you should drop the TZ printout too, I 
think. It doesn't seem to make any sense to give the *wrong* timezone.

The timezone is interesting to see: it is a hint as to _where_ the
commit is coming from. Obviously not reliable, it can be amusing.

Unless you spotted a bug in the patch, with --local-zone, I do
not think you would get any such hint from the zone information.

No, not in your patch. For example, look at the timezone information
in the Date: and Received: headers of this mail.
