NOT.    The MTA generates the Date: Header.  I've now done this on one
machine running sendmail, and one running smail.  In both cases, the
latest release of mutt goofs, while the latest release of elm and the
current /bin/mail do not.   It's the MTA, not the MUA.

NOT.  Mutt *IS* the problem.

I don't have a bogus TZ: it's EST5EDT.
