(Slightly OT) TZ settings for outgoing mail?
Is the mail client responsible for setting the time on outgoing mail? I
am running Sarge, with exim 3.36-16 and Thunderbird 1.0.2. I used to
live on the east coast (of the US) and am now living on the west coast
(3 TZs later).
Output of tzconfig:
Your current time zone is set to US/Pacific
Output of date:
Wed May 10 08:34:29 PDT 2006
But when I send e-mail, the header gets US/Atlantic time:
Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 10:57:20 -0400
The header above should have the time as: 07:57:20 -0700
The actual UTC time is the same, but it looks like I am sending e-mail
from the east coast, instead of the west coast.
Thunderbird is also displaying the time of incoming mails as if I were
still on the east coast. This means that e-mail that was just sent and
received is showing a time that appears to be three hours in the future.
I don't know if this has been happening since we moved, and I just
noticed it, or if something has caused this to revert, somehow. Can
anyone tell me where this is set so that I can correct this?
