 Replying to [ticket:7529 pmt]:
 > Torbirdy sets a set of new default values, actually to my understanding
 it even enforces them.

 Correct.

 > While this might be useful to hide details revealing the location of a
 user (I suspect this is enforced, because this date is later used in
 replies), it might not be preferable for all users, as people get a false
 intention, when they received a certain mail.

 > So I would love if you could make the enforcement of (at least) that
 setting configurable, like '--throw-keyids' for enigmail.

 So you want an opt-out from the time zone part, where we set everything to
 UTC?

 While in theory I have no problem doing that, my only concern is whether
 we ''should'' be allowing such a potentially dangerous opt-out, because it
 will leak the time zone.
