qmail doesn't *display* the time at all; and when it puts the
timestamp in, it doesn't know what timezone the message will be in
when somebody *does* display it. So UTC seems to make the most
sense.
Also, by using UTC Dan avoids getting entangled in the system-specific
mechanisms for determining local timezone, and/or the need to depend
on the standard library.
