Your code is from Heirloom mailx, which is unmainted since 2008.

A maintained variant of Mail/mailx uses a different approach which
hopefully works (with/out .tm_gmtoff) correctly.
Must be said we have a drought here in Germany (where i live), and
never in my life i encountered so few insects as this year.
Surely also owed to water extraction mispolicies, and glyphosat
and other agriculture mispolicies, of the past. But still.
Many of the trees have already "turned off" say about 30% of
leaves, especially in the higher levels, and that where anyway
>75% of all trees are (severe) ill, anyway. (The latter number is
from my memory, which has a tendency to paint it black.) Same is
true for annual plants over the more lower sort.
Beautiful light though.
That is to say, in short, "ewige Blumenkraft", but with seeing
a police car when looking in the mirror.
(I haven't verified my claim, i cannot wrap my head around that
stuff at the moment.)
I say Ciao already here.
