Tell Mutt What Timezone to Use

I’ve been using Mutt to read my e-mail on a server that has its timezone set to UTC. Whenever I got an e-mail, I would have to mentally convert its send time (and date) from UTC to whatever timezone I was currently in. This became a little tedious.

Then I found out about the TZ environment variable:
man tzset: http://linux.die.net/man/3/tzset

So, to have Mutt show time in a specific timezone, start it with the TZ environment variable set. For example:

1
TZ=America/New_York mutt
