Java has several classes and API methods to get the time zone.
Where does the JVM determine this info -is is not from the Unix settings?
Yes, but you better make sure the TZ, _TZ variables are set correctly!
ISO-8601 flattens this issue somewhat as the timezone etc is part of the
timestamp.

I forgot about the IANA Time-Zone database. That does seem to be the

Yep. You almost need a country code, and for multi zone
countries a zone indicator. Especially since a shared time zone
might have different DST / ST switch dates in different countries.
And it's up to the recipient to unwind the process?
That's the reason that SMTP date headers specify simply "+/-hhmm"
(Which might be +0000 for UTC.)
Do you want to know the physical time the message originated, or
the solar illumination at that point in spacetime?
