[Dovecot] deliver and time

  Hi All,

I've been experimenting with deliver on my personal domain, and so far 
everything has been peachy except for Mail.app.  Mail.app (on multiple 
devices) is showing what looks to be GMT times, rather than the date 
header.  Initially I thought it was something I did on my Mac, until I 
got an Ipad to test with - and never connected it to my Mac - and had 
the same time issue.

It seems Mail.app uses the timestamp ('arrived date'?) on the mail file 
itself (Maildir here) to display the time.

So.. I have dovecot 1.2.10 installed on top of vpopmail (multiple MXs, 
delivering to OpenSolaris NFS share via tcp), and it seems that deliver 
is using the GMT time when writing the Maildir file, and vdelivermail 
just uses the adjusted time.. Or maybe it just allows the OS to write 
the timestamp.

Either way, is this a known issue with deliver - or is there a patch?  I 
don't recall ever seeing it come up on the list, and I'm not seeing 
anything in the changelog.
