On my system, a working script looks like this (but the method employed is in no way specific to Mutt): export TZ=America/Montreal exec mutt "$@" But if you don't have "the timezone package" installed, whatever this may be, I don't see why it would work. Also, I don't think there is such a thing as "-0800"; the benefit of telling your C library where you are rather than a simple time offset is that daylight saving will be taken care of automatically. For example, at this time of the year, the following location appears to be in "-0800": $ env TZ=America/Anchorage date -R Sun, 28 May 2006 09:46:47 -0800 -- David Haguenauer
