It was late afternoon on 16Jun2024 that I wrote this. Possibly 18:13:36 when
I pressed send. I'd reckon it would likely have been 08:13:36 UTC What's
wrong with my system clock. I've not really looked at the time on my
originals before. I'll try to remember to enter my local time as I press
send
I'm back. The kitchen clock says 18:05. the sun has set. I have no
reason to doubt the clock. So I'll answer Greg's questions
What does "date" say? Paste the entire output.
$> date
Tue 18 Jun 2024 18:06:31 AEST
What does "cat /etc/timezone" say? Paste the entire output.
cat /etc/timezone
Australia/Melbourne
is as close as I can specify for my regional city
What does "ls -l /etc/localtime" say? Paste the entire output.
ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 4 21:00 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne
Have you set the TZ environment variable? If so, what did you set it to?
Not that I'm aware of
What time zone are you *actually* in? Like, what country, and what major
city is nearest to you?
UTC +10:00
Australia, Geelong Our capital is Melbourne
Which NTP client are you running? Have you checked up on it, to make
sure it's actually running, properly configured, and not spewing errors?
No, but why, when I believe everything I have answered is correct.
If it helps, I have the date as part of my command prompt, always
appears right time after an enter; aliases and desktop short-cuts that
give me the date and time reliably so far.
Greg, if there is something not right with my answer, please let me know.
Again thanks greatly for your help.
I saw another response about how the MUA deals with the senders date
when replying. So fired up claws and sent myself a brief note. when
replying to myself, the reply quoted

I'll forward this asap, to confirm the detail. Guess I could also alter
address in a reply to send it here as well. Look for it shortly as well.
This makes me think that I need to adjust my MUA settings; thunderbird
for this mail and my normal mail use; and claws for some use. claws has
reply and forwarding templates with place holders for date formats
amongst other items. I'll play around there as it's easier to start
with. Item 1 will be change the date to read as it does in the forward
Tue 18Jun2024.
Thanks all for your responses. I'll go through them all later tonight
