When opening a message in KMail, there is a gray rectangle area above the message containing the basic To/From/Subject information.
In Trinity there is a blue box at the right side of the gray area. The blue box uses a gradient background and contains the current time of the person who sent the message.
There is a related configuration option in Appearance, Message Window, named "Show current sender time."
How is the current sender's time being determined? Is this a local calculation or is KMail fetching data from somewhere online before calculating and displaying the time?
Thanks.

Bump. How is the current sender's time being determined?

I suspect the date/time you are seeing is actually the time the mail was sent by the originator rather than his/her current time.
Take a look at the headers for these mails and see how the content of the box compares with the 'Date:' header.

The time is the sender's current time.
I want to know how this information is derived.
