Format the time as "localtimeformat [+-]HHMM". Iterative development is fun. This shows up, for me, as "Local Time: 10:50:15 PM -0800". Marcus, I figure this bypasses the need to localize 'GMT'. Are there any locales where either the tz offset is always printed (my reading is that this would show up in the conversation window, so I doubt it) or where a tz offset is printed before the time?
