This does not appear to be a problem.
It sounds like messenger is reporting zulu time (universal
time coordinate) as it should. e-mail is international in range,
so time is typically reported at the prime meridian. This
response is in fact international and has probably been routed
across timezones.

Since you report a display of EDT below, I assume you
don't have a problem. If your system displayed EST on this
date, and reports zulu time with an offset of 4 hours, you
would have a problem. If your time zone is
set properly (see timezone(5)) you should now display in EDT.
(I assume that Ontario switches to daylight saving time)
Thank you for the clear description of your concern and
the steps that you took to address it. This was very helpful.
The steps you took were well-reasoned.
