% I have a question regarding the date and time displayed in the Date:
% header of e-mails. Is the time displayed there according to the senders
% timezone or my timezone?
It's displayed according to whatever timezone is specified. More
properly, I suppose, it's displayed according to whatever GMT offset
(like -0700) is displayed.
Note the timestamp on your message:
% Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:28:19 +0200
I don't have to wonder if that's 13:28 your time or my time not only
because it hasn't yet happened here but because the +0200 is specified.

% Say I get an e-mail with this header:
%
% Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 06:29:24 -0700 (PDT)
Yep.
%
% Has this mail been sent at 06:29 my time, or is it the senders (PDT)
It's only "your time" if you happen to be in PDT.
% time? Or to put it another way, does this mean that it was sent at
% 06:29 my time, and that I should substract 7 hours to get the time in
% the senders timezone (PDT)?
Nope; it was sent at 06:29 PDT, which is 13:29 GMT and 15:29 where you
appear to be.
