Of particular interest at the moment is how the "time of day" is

The format for an e-mail message's Date: header is defined in RFC 5322.
The GNU date utility can produce it using the -R, --rfc-email option:
[heinlein@gladstone cur]$ date -R

I suspect mail clients are able to translate that format to the local
timezone without much trouble.
Thank you.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322.html explicitly answers the

Plowing through the first three dozen pages prompts me to internally
rephrase the other questions I was trying to ask.
