Can't change time from UTC to localtime

[Siri Amrit Kaur]

Well now, this is interesting!

I sent the original email (below) a few minutes ago from my computer. 
It just showed up in the incoming mail and the time is correct (or 
correct enough) at 8:48AM. 

But other messages posted to the list at nearly the same time, that I 
received in the same batch, say 3:38 and 3:44PM.
