Edward,
Generally speaking, SMTP mailservers will timestamp the messages they
receive with Greenwich Mean Time (roughly UTC -0000). This is to avoid
confusion with local time zones which change worldwide, since a message
often travels across several time zones. This is not faultless,
because some machines don't agree on what time of day UTC is (i.e.,
they may be minutes or hours off), but it is a convention that mail is
stamped "Received: " in UTC.
If you reall had to have the time stamps /look/ local, you could
always adjust the time on the machine so the UTC time looked local, but
that really is cheating... :-)
The MTA (pine, Netscape, Outlook, balsa, tkrat, Pegasus...) usually
stamps the "Date: " header on the message in localtime, so this is
probably what you'll need to refer to if you don't wish to muck about
with UTC.
Good luck,
-Martin
