Under Windows, PHP sets Date header for mail if sendmail_path is _not_ 
defined. If you are using sendmail compatible progmram, this won't apply 
to your problem.

Looks like someone commented out following lines in sendmail.c (I'm 
refering PHP 4.0.7-dev source)

/*
    extern int _daylight;
    extern long _timezone;
  */

And _timezone is used as follows

(_timezone > 0) ? "+" : (_timezone < 0) ? "-" : "",zoneh,zonem)

They are probably commented out due to thread safe issue. I guess this 
bug is introduced when this change is made. (I'm just looking at source 
briefly and _not_ 100% sure.)

It is possible you have configuration problem also. Is your web server 
can get zoneinfo that you want? If not, it is possible having this 
problem even if there is _no_ bug.

Check your server configuration first. If you are sure that your server 
is ok, submit bug report and ask developers if this is a bug or not.If 
this is a bug, it will be fixed hopefully.

PS: You might want to ask W2K users to verify this problem. Post new 
article with title like "Possible mail() bug under Windows". Then 
Windows users will pay attention. I'm not a windows user :)
