So, everything looks fine here.

In a previous message, you thought that your system clock or your time
zone was set wrong, because you read one of the attribution lines of
one of my replies, and you thought it said you had sent your message
at the wrong time.

As it turns out, I'm fairly certain you misread the attribution line,
which was reporting time in a 12-hour format, with "PM".  You saw the
06:... and thought it was saying you had sent your email at 6 AM, but
you missed the "PM" at the end.

As far as I know, it was a simple misread on your part, and nothing is
actually wrong.

In fact, things should be even better now, because you provoked me into
reading about mutt's attribution and date_format variables, and changing
the silly default format to a more sensible format.  You'll note that
this reply uses an attribution with a 24-hour format.
