    I'm confused. Your time displays (Keith) look sensible to me, given
    they are in local time for somewhere like Brisbane.

    The only confusing display to me is what Greg's MUA showed when quoting
    your message. The time is correct but is shown in 12-hr +offset format,
    which is a bit weird and is in contrast to the way his own message time
    is displayed in 24-hr format.

    Mutt uses that 12-hour format by default. I just changed it in my configuration. This message uses the 24-hour format instead.
