Often, I wish to know the time at which someone wrote me an e-mail converted to the local time zone. Since most of my contacts live in another time zone, (and some use the time zone +0000 even though that isn't where they live), I have to do some mental calculations which I'd like to avoid sometimes.Currently, my workaround for this is to make Mutt unignore a header called X-Date, and add a procmail recipe like this:
Your procmail recipe adds the date at the time the message is received. Perhaps using "%(fmt)" in your index_format instead of the default "%{fmt}" would help you get the desired time format in the index.
man muttrc and search for index_format to learn the difference between the two. If you don't have an index_format set, the default is
"%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s". Experiment with
"%4C %Z %(%b %d) %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s" instead.
I don't think there's a way to change it in the pager.
