Stuffplug 3 does something like this. But that requires your contact to also have Stuffplug 3.

You can download Stuffplug at http://www.stuffplug.com/.

Yeah, you're right.
To automatically retrieve time zone, both needs Stuffplug 3. And that's what he asked for. :)
You can always ask the time zone, anyway. :)

:(:(:(..and without installing Stuffplugin?

Not possible.
Because the time zone information is normally sent never send in the protocol messages to/from the Messenger server. :(

Hmm, someone could always code a script to get the IP of the contact that your talking to then use some online service to check what country the ip matches, only problem is that this probably won't always be correct and won't be precise.

There's a script called TimeZone which adds a clock in your conversation windows, but again: you need to know the time difference.
