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/
