How do I [cause Outlook to] display the time zone for the "Sent" time of a
message?

The date on a sent message is in your own time time zone. Don't you know
what it is?

Sometimes I get long e-mail threads that have several
replies nested, and some of the intermediate replies are
shown with some headers, but the headers, even if they do
contain a date/time stamp, usually do not inicate the time
zone, and I am communicating with people in other time zones,
and in some of those places the DST (daylight savings time)
goes on and off at certain times of the year.
Some of my other ("non" Outlook) e-mail, tends to have
headers that do specify the time zone. Isn't there some way
to find a feature in Outlook that would allow one to have that
way of working?

Outlook, for me, always displays the message adjusted to my current time,
and I believe that's the way its supposed to work. I guess I can't help
because I can't see why you'd care what time zones the other people are in
because the message times you see are always normalized to your own time.

That's only if, when you say "the message times you see" you mean
the times in the header of the current message.
But sometimes I get a message, that is a whole thread,
(and I have never seen it before, because all the old non-latest
entries were not Cc'ed to me, and I was Cc'ed for the first time
on the most recent message)
and some of the older entries have some "copies" of message
header lines in them, and the dates/times are not all in the same
time zone.

I know this probably sounds like a chicken feed nit-pick.
Thanks for your patience.

I doubt there's any way to alter messages contained within other messages,
either as attachments or in the body.

of course, once the body of a message is fixed,
I am not suggesting to change it afterwards.
But, how about causing that "header" information
(with the date/time stamp for when it was sent or rec'd),
to include a time-zone label (like "-0700") in the first place?
....sorry if this dialogue is getting tiresome
