Someone has it,  t-bird maybe?, I get msgs showing it like this

21:47 -5:00

so it gives local time, then the UTC offset.  But that is not the usual, it 
just impressed me with the preciseness when I saw it.  Here on the net, one 
never knows what time it may be, or have been, at the other end of the msg.

And I'm an idiot, the 'insert command' button I missed, I was expecting a 
drag & drop from the left window when there was one.  Doh!  Now I can quit 
guessing.

Thank you very much, Nils.
