Majordomo doesn't use TZ itself; it doesn't generate "Date:" headers,
it lets the underlying mailsystem do that for it. Setting TZ in the
environment merely passes it along to programs that Majordomo runs,
like Sendmail. If Sendmail doesn't pay any attention to it when
putting "Date:" fields in messages (and yours apparently doesn't),
there's probably nothing you can do about it from Majordomo.
On the other hand, some systems _do_ use TZ, but use a different
syntax (i.e., "PST8PDT" instead of simply "PDT"). You'll have to
figure out for yourself whether your system pays attention to the TZ
envariable, and what the right setting for it is.
