Hi,

when sending mail with the mailer module the Date: header will contain
the current timestamp based on UTC/GMT.  Currently this results in a
difference of two hours in Germany, which confuses those who are not
parsing the timezone component (+0000 versus +0200).

It seems to me that it would be more useful and user-friendly if the
module would use the local time and timezone instead of UTC.

If you agree please consider using the following patch to accomplish
this:
