 In conversations, the local time is added to every message:

 {{{
 HH:MM:SS PM - The current conversation is not private.
 HH:MM:SS PM - You attempted to send an unencrypted message to <>. As a
 policy, unencrypted messages are not allowed.
 HH:MM:SS PM - Attempting to start a private conversation. Your message
 will be retransmitted when the private conversation starts.
 }}}

 (where `HH:MM:SS` is my local time)

 While this is local, a user may copy-paste this conversation, thus
 revealing their timezone in the process. Should we use `UTC` for
 everything, even local things?
