Recipient list now alphabetized by last name

Improvements to the new inbox system continue. This release includes alphabetizing of the names in the recipient drop-down list. You can now also select multiple recipients at once by pressing the command key (Mac) or control key (PC) while clicking on users names.

Time Zones are now more configurable

Previously all time zones were set based off the account settings. With this release, courses can have their own time zone and users can also set their personal time zone. If a user sets their time zone all times displayed in Canvas will refer to the user's local time.
