All these specifier are detected now and ignored, appending the timezone on the message. Otherwise they would be passed to the strftime call as is, which uses the local timezone, wrong most of the time. |
Original reporter on Debian BTS explains it well, so just copying here: ---- the %date_fmt function, available to customize your reply [1], uses your locale timezone instead of the sender's. An example: Let's say you've received a mail dated on Mon, 1 Sep 2014 14:24:56 -0400 and that your locale timezone is +0200. Then the %date_fmt (or %D) function will return Mon, 1 Sep 2014 14:24:56 +0200. This bug is also present in version 3.10.1git150-1 from hydra.debian.net [1] Configuration -> Preferences -> Compose -> Templates -> Reply ---- Thanks in advance,
