Depends on your MUA.  In mutt, it would be:

    set date_format="!It's %a %d%b%Y at %H:%M:%S here, where clocks are UTC%z"

except that this won't put a colon inside the timezone offset.  It
would just end with "UTC+1000".

Of course, you probably don't want that exact wording, because it's
used as *part* of the attribution.  If you used the above, then the
attribution would come out looking like:

    On It's Thu 20Jun2024 at 20:51:19 here, where clocks are UTC+1000,

So, you'd either want to change the attribution variable as well, or
alter that wording slightly.  I'd suggest removing "It's" and "here".
