Something is happening to your TZ. The only mail client I know of that
doesn't use TZ is PMMail 1.x (PMMail 2.x uses TZ).

Here's the two Date lines from your header:

Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2003 20:01:30 PDT7
X-OldDate: Sun, 05 Oct 2003 20:03:41 +0000

You can see that your message was sent relative to GMT (+0000), not PDT
(-0700).

If you want to verify the +0000 is coming from your machine, send a test
message with IPTRACE on and look at the Date: line (it will be in ASCII
after you IPFORMAT the captured data).

Here's another test:

-- 1. From the command line, run SET | FIND /I "TZ" to verify that TZ is
set.

-- 2. From the _same_ command line (so you know TZ is set) start your
Mozilla email client.

-- 3. Send a test message to yourself. When you receive the message,
look at the header and see what the Date: line looks like.

Intriguing problem. Let me know if you figure it out.

By the way, here's my TZ for comparison:

TZ=PST8PDT,4,1,0,3600,10,-1,0,7200,3600
