This is a symptom of a broken system configuration with respect
to time zones. I'd recommend you (a) install time zone data on
your machine to teach the C library about them, and (b)
configure your system's clock accordingly.
If the command "date" when typed on a command line indicates
the correct time and time zone, then mutt will send out
messages with a correct time stamp as well.
