commit c6de0283fd8fe2a75312985d39e85ba8148f0c97
Author: Sukhbir Singh <sukhbir at torproject.org>
Date: Fri May 6 16:03:40 2016 -0400
Do not set the timezone to UTC
TorBirdy was setting the timezone to UTC to prevent leaks in the date and the
message-ID header. With #6314 and #6315 fixed and merged upstream, both the
headers are sanitized without explicitly setting the timezone to UTC.

torbirdy.firstrun=You are now running TorBirdy.\n\nTo help protect your anonymity, TorBirdy will enforce the Thunderbird settings it has set, preventing them from being changed by you or by any add-on. There are some settings that can be changed and those are accessed through TorBirdy's preferences dialog. When TorBirdy is uninstalled or disabled, all settings that it changes are reset to their default values (the values prior to TorBirdy's install).\n\nIf you are a new user, it is recommended that you read through the TorBirdy website to understand what we are trying to accomplish with TorBirdy for our users.
