There is. Set the environment variable TZ to the value <time
zone><offset><DST time zone>, for example:

SET TZ=EST-4EDT

(I don't know what the correct offset for EST is)

<time zone> is your standard time zone, abbreviated to three characters.

<offset> is the difference to GMT, not accounting for DST. (I have
observed that PC Pine changes the sign, so use negative offsets for
Europe, and positive for America :-( Try which works for you by sending an
e-mail to yourself.)

<DST time zone> is the name of your time zone for DST (daylight savings
time), again abbreviated to three characters.

Put the SET command into your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or CONFIG.SYS, for MS DOS 6.x)
file.
