You can specify the time zone by means of the TZ environment variable before
running mutt.
TZ=UTC mutt
Thank you! A most elegant quick solution!
cheers, P
On the othe hand, I do not think mutt makes the header. I'm in compose mode
right now with headers and the Date: header is not there. This suggests that
the mail system may be making yours also. So your mutt "sendmail=" settings
says what to use to dispatch email; if you make that a tiny shell script which
sets TZ and then runs sendmail (or msmtp or whatever) then you can read email
in your local timezone and have the mail system generate a UTC Date: header.
