Hrm. I would have thought it would do:
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 09:24:20 +0530
Because what mutt SHOULD be doing is printing the Date header in the
local time (according to your timezone) and then specify the timezone
via the standard offset (which, for IST, is +0530).
What mutt does to generate the Date header is to call the system
function localtime() for the time and date---that SHOULD produce the
same output as the `date` command at the commandline.
I do note that mutt's source says it's "optimized" for negative
timezone offsets, but I don't know enough to be able to tell if its
calculating positive timezone offsets correctly---it may not be.
