Thanks to both Derek Martin and Edward for this suggestion. I set my TZ variable as follows (I'm in California, US): export TZ=US/Pacific That seems to do what I want. Now when I send an email, it has the time at which I wrote and sent it in California. I'll have to remember to change that when I travel to a different timezone, of course. FYI, on my mail server's machine (GNU/Linux), the list of timezone names is the directories and file names under: /usr/share/zoneinfo/ Dave
