The days of older mail were English month names parcel wrote itself, and the reader's head and the palette added "ago" to the list's "3h". siv writes both now, from CLDR, in the app's language: the day as "Oct 20" or "Nov 3, 2025" ("20. Okt.", "3. Nov. 2025" in German), and the reader's head and the palette say "3 hours ago", or "now" under a minute, counted in whole minutes so the text changes once a minute. The list and each message keep their short "3h". zeit still gives the day in the local zone.
