Dunno. One of my colleagues has a new Exchange 2010 installation. It has the strange property that one of its components runs in UTC despite the system's timezone setting and this is the part that puts the Date: line in outgoing messages. (Don't ask me for the gory details: I am happy to remain vague on the subject.) Some MUAs display message dates in the sender's time zone, some in the recipient's time zone. This led to some confusion about messages from their Exchange server appearing to be an hour wrong for some recipients. Microsoft have acknowledged this as a bug...
