Of course I got these backwards: it's 6 during DST and 7 otherwise.

I don't mean to invalidate your opinion, but I don't think using UTC
universally is actually all that bad. Each individual person just needs
to know their own personal UTC offset and then it's trivial to adjust.
In my opinion, when everyone uses their own local time zone it actually

Hi all,
The Date: header that Mutt adds to my sent emails includes my time zone
offset. I would prefer to have the header present the time of my email
