  OK.  Let me make my point a little clearer.  Mail headers are often
inserted into the body of other mail messages.  Sometimes they appear
plain, sometimes offset with white space, sometimes with a character
such as '>' or '|'.  Will your smart MUA present all the times in these
included headers optionally in the timezone of the sender of the original
mail (not the current message) or the local timezone, which ever the mail
reader prefers?  And if headers are only in GMT how can the MUA even find
out the time zone of the sender?
