The command 'date' produces:

Mon May 29 10:40:26 GMT 2006

which is the correct local time - the problem being
that "GMT" where there should be a "PST"

The GMT stamp attaches to all my outgoing emails. 
I am in timezone PST and, by being stamped with timezone
GMT, my emails appear to have been sent 8 hours before
the actual time they were sent.

I'd like to find a way to make the necessary corrections
without installing the timezone package for my OS.
With mutt's high configurability, there should be a way
to tell it to affix all outgoing emails with time stamp
PST, or at least to force the system to do that.

I just don't know how, and would like to find out.
