"Default untouched evo install was set to UTC dispite having selected
Europe/Amsterdam during install.

10-sept dist-upgraded breezy."
Comment 1 Jeffrey Stedfast 2005-09-12 15:46:36 UTC 
that's because his system was set to UTC. reading /etc/timezone won't have fixed
that.

mailer doesn't use the calendar's date/time settings, it uses the system's and
rightly so.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2005-09-12 16:20:52 UTC 
How is it set to UTC? A possible setup is to have the computer clock on UTC with
a timezone configuration, what would be wrong by using the tz setting?
