Question: when importing Mozilla Thunderbird mails (eml or mbox),

Is this intentionally-designed log management of StGit? I would
expect the submitter's date & locale is kept when importing patches
from e-mails.

Hmm. I agree with you that the expected behavior when importing
patches from e-mails is that the author date is set to the date in the
e-mail, the way git-am does it.

Looking at the code, it looks like the intention is that it should
work that way, too. So I guess it's simply a bug. Catalin, do you have
a clue?
