Sender's time zone in attribution?



I'd like to have an attribution (the line above quoted text in
replies) that looks like this:

'On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 21:12 EDT, Firstname Lastname wrote:'

where "EDT" would always be the alphabetic time zone abbreviation of
the sender's time zone.

If I do:

set date_format="%a, %d %b %Y, %H:%M %Z"
and
set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:"

I get:

On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 22:23 +0200, Firstname Lastname wrote:

that is, the offset from UTC.

If I use 
set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:"
I get the desired alphabetic abbreviation, but the time and time zone
(not surprisingly) of my own location.

Is there any way to get %Z to expand to the alphabetic abbreviation of
the sender's time zone?

All this is on Xubuntu Gutsy, if that matters.
