What Jonathon meant to ask is: does this problem only affect mail sent
from an xlogin login, or only from a remote login, or does it affect
both?
I just tried sending mail (with rmail-mail as well as with /bin/mail,
/usr/lib/sendmail, and C-x m) from a couple of IRIX boxes, locally and
remotely (through telnet), and can't reproduce the problem. Things I
know which would affect the problem if they were different on your
machine:
* An Ot setting in /etc/sendmail.cf. (The stock sendmail.cf
doesn't have one.) You might verify that your frozen
sendmail configuration is current with respect to
sendmail.cf by running sendmail -bz (that should happen
at boot time, so I would expect it to be current unless
you've made recent changes to sendmail.cf).
* The /etc/TIMEZONE file. I think if that were wrong, "date"
would tend to display the wrong time, though.

In bugs [14911], you reported this problem (January 1997), and the fix
was to nuke the bad Ot line from sendmail.cf.
