Subject: Changing time in "date" header to reflect local Timezone?

(If this is a FAQ, I apologize; a little research turned up nothing, and I
might have used the wrong query string).

Is there any way I can get Pine to put something akin to:

  Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 14:16:05

.... instead of:

  Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 17:16:05 -0500 (EST)

.... as it does now? IOW, can I always get the local time? I'm using the
default headers as shipped with Pine 4.40 .

The first is illegal, but in the second format, it should be the local
time, and the the zone should be the local zone.

In time zone -0500 at noon local time it should say

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 12:00:00 -0500 (EST)

which is the same moment as

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 17:00:00 0000 (UTC)

The problem is, "what's local"? My mail server is in New York City. I'm not.

I'd like to make it so that what Pine *DISPLAYS* is the time of the message
adjusted for whatever arbitrary local time zone I ask it (usually PST8PDT).

If you send me a message in GMT+3, and it gets delayed X hrs on the server,
I still want to see the time you first sent it to the mailer, *at my local
timezone* (GMT-8).
