Description Nicholas Sushkin 2018-07-25 16:31:54 UTC 
I received an email with Date header in the following format:

Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 10:55:49 CDT

In message list and message view, the email date is displayed as 6:55 AM. I am in in US Eastern time zone. The proper date in EDT is 11:55 AM.

I looked at all other messages whose date is displayed correctly and their date header has timezone in ("+" / "-") 4DIGIT format. Is it possible kmail2 has parsing issues with timezone specified as CDT? After all, "Wed, 25 Jul 2018 10:55:49 +0000" is 6:55AM EDT.

RFC 822 allows CDT as a time zone, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#section-5.1


This is Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, KMail 5.1.3

Please test with a newer KMail version.
