Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.3.6 OS: Linux When a received email contains an alphabetic timezone indication in its Date field (instead of +0n00 or -0n00), this alphabetic name is sometimes misinterpreted. For example, EET is treated as -0500; it is apparently misrecognized as EST. But RFC-2822 explicitly states: ''Any such time zone whose meaning is not known SHOULD be considered equivalent to "-0000"''. So KMail should either interpret EET correctly as +0200, or recognize it as unknown and therefore treat it as -0000. It should not misinterpret it as -0500. (This is related to bug 73585, where an alphabetic timezone was misinterpreted as -1200, but that one was IMO mistakenly closed as a duplicate of something else.)
I think this problem has been already solved with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117848#c1 If you can still reproduce it, please attach such a test mail here and reopen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 117848 ***
