Emperical test, I'm in the Eastern US (EDT -4:00) I sent myself a message on another system using an altered TZ variable.
TZ=PST8PDT mutt j...@mums.jgcomp.com I'm old fashioned, so I used the old style TZ settings for Western US. The header "Date:" showed the PDT date/time. The first "Received:" header showed the local system received it using the actual local time (EDT). So if just having the message Date: show "your" local time when logged in from afar, set and export TZ appropriately. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.
