It only works with the first level of attribution, because the next
person to quote the quote may have a different timezone in their header.
And that leaves aside the problem of attributions that have been
silently converted into the quoter's timezone, with or without a
new TZ being specified).
Plus, it does appear that there are MUAs that attribute the time
of a quote to the time at which the replier *started their reply*
to the original email, which is completely bizarre. (There are
several such MUAs posting here.)
Cheers,
David.
