As others have hinted, this is a waste of your energy. Your time zone narrows down your location to an area that's (very) roughly about 15,000,000 square miles. By contrast, the e-mail system records each hop in received headers, which gives your IP address and reliably identifies the geographical region your mail originated from (usually your personal system, but at very least your mail gateway), quite possibly down to the neighborhood level. You have bigger fish to fry. Even if your mail gateway does not add a received header to indicate where you connected to it from, a motivated attacker can probably get that info easily enough, and an unmotivated attacker won't even look. So this gets you nothing, really. It only protects you from people who aren't really looking anyway. -- Derek D.
