Subject: faking time zone?

I live in EDT but one of my ISPs is in PDT and I'm wondering if it's
possible for me to set things up at that ISP so that the mail I send using
Pine gives the date in EDT.  Is this possible?

Thanks,
Nancy

Yes. Before starting pine, change the value of the TZ environment variable
to the value used for EDT time zone (unfortunately I have no idea where
those zones are and what is their time shift to GMT). Those Europeans, you
know :-)

Changing depends on a used shell; for sh, bash you can use:

TZ=newvalue
export TZ

For csh, tcsh:

setenv TZ newvalue

Hope this helps.
