Sender's time zone in attribution?

I'd like to have an attribution (the line above quoted text in
replies) that looks like this:

'On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 21:12 EDT, Firstname Lastname wrote:'

where "EDT" would always be the alphabetic time zone abbreviation of
the sender's time zone.

If I do:

set date_format="%a, %d %b %Y, %H:%M %Z"
and
set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:"

I get:

On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, 22:23 +0200, Firstname Lastname wrote:

that is, the offset from UTC.

If I use 
set attribution="On %d, %n wrote:"
I get the desired alphabetic abbreviation, but the time and time zone
(not surprisingly) of my own location.

Is there any way to get %Z to expand to the alphabetic abbreviation of
the sender's time zone?

All this is on Xubuntu Gutsy, if that matters.

Sorry, that should have been:
 set attribution="On %D, %n wrote:"

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it, since the mapping from

Thanks, that makes sense, but in that case it's not important enough
at the moment to go to such lengths.

Thanks anyway!

Re: strange charset problem with german/kyrillic chars

ok, if I comment out all charset-settings in muttrc, then the failure is
the same. If I use assumed_charset="windows-1252", then the subject
change the chars, but only to "ñ Ô" etc... (asc: 241 and 212 etc...)
before (with assumed_charset='utf-8') in the index the subject is
displayed correct except german umlauts and russian chars. If I edit the
message in vim, then the subject-line is displayed correct. only in
mutt-index and pager the charset is weird. Very strange.
If I receive a copy of the same mail with eg. mozilla-mail, there it's
displayed correct. Because that, I think, something is wrong with my
settings. 

Any Idea how to debug the next step?
Any help is welcome...
thanks a lot, raphael

mutt attachments html and cron

Hello Mutt-users,

  i'm a bit new to linux world, but my current task needs to be
finished though...

  okay.. here is the deal:
  i need to send html - e-mail from commandline with bunch of
attachments.. every day ..
  i've wrote bash-script already..
  and when run from console (like direct-execute) everything goes
fine.. just as planned..
--------------------
mutt -s "System summary report for $THEDATE" \
  -e 'my_hdr From: ----scrapped eMail------' \
  -e 'set content_type="text/html"' \
  -a $TMPDIR"/d6intprod1_cpu.png" \
  p.rysevets <at> sam-solutions.net < /home/master/stat/getsend_rrdstat_template.html
--------------------

this way.. mutt sets content type of std-in'ed .html to text/html...
and all the mailers read it properly and display right html-page with
attached pictures... i.e. fine, as i wanted it..

but... here comes the troubles...

when i set this script to run by cron... - everything works except
----------
  -e 'set content_type="text/html"' \
----------
even the change of "From:" is working fine... but not the content

Do you by any chance have two different versions of Mutt installed?
Try adding a cron job to be executed soon that runs "which mutt" - is
the path the same one as when you run it from the command line?

Usually when manually executed programs behave differently from when
they are run through cron, the problem is that the environments
differ.

Thank you, that's just what I needed.  I wasn't aware of that
capability, it allows to deal with messages just as with regular
attachments.  Nice!

Maybe clearing your header cache helps ?
