I would like to respectfully remind people that, in my original request,
I did not have the sender's time zone. I had the sender's employer's
hosted-email-company's computer-configuration's time zone, which was
UTC.
I cannot have any expectation that the date stamps in the email header
reflect anything immediately (that is, at a glance) useful to me -- it
may not be the sender's time zone, it may not be the recipient's time
zone. It's just a time stamp in (effectively) a random time zone.
