Subject: Default mbox "From " time zone to -0000
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d11e34ce76aac8680337f247419657e042e4cf34;p=emacs.git

Default mbox "From " time zone to -0000

* lisp/mail/rmailout.el (rmail-nuke-pinhead-header):
Default the time zone to "-0000" instead of "EST", as "-0000" is
the RFC-2822-and-later standard for unknown time zones.
