           Summary: Fething events by date does not respect local timezone

Retrieving messages for a specific date returns messages according to UTC
timezone, not user's locale timezone.

This means that when I'm in UTC+1 timezone and I receive a message on
2013-03-25 00:01:00+01:00 ( = 2013-03-24 23:01:00+00:00 ), the message will not
be listed when querying for messages from 2013-03-25. This also means that when
querying for 2013-03-24, I'll incorrectly receive messages retrieved between
2013-03-25 00:00:00+01:00 and 2013-03-25 00:59:59+01:00.

To display messages to users correctly according to their timezone, one have
query all messages from requested day and the day before (or the day after,
depending on whether it's UTC+x or UTC-x timezone), convert all message
timestamps and discard messages that don't fit into the requested time frame. 

This is quite complicated and I think such behaviour is a bug.
