The time stamp is constructed based on the GMT offset that is obtained
from the operating system.  If there is an offset, it will be used to
calculate the time by the receiving server (ex. Microsoft Exchange
Server).  If the local time and GMT are the same (ie. there is no
offset), than a +0000 value is sent with the email.  When the receiving
server sees this value, it assumes that the email was sent from GMT and
then takes it upon itself to apply the offset for the time zone that it
is in.

Example 1 (MVS offset set to -0400):

  Email is sent at 2 PM Eastern time.  GMT is actually 6 PM.
  The -0400 is seen by the receiving server, sees that it
  is the same as its own, and leaves the datetime value.

Example 2 (MVS offset not set):

  Email is sent at 2 PM eastern time.  GMT is actually 6 PM.
  The +0000 value is seen by the receiving server, thinks
  that the 2 PM value is actually GMT, and applies the correct
  offset for the time zone that it is in, (ie. -0400 to the 2 PM
  time).  The resulting time is then 10 AM, and it looks like the
  email was received before it was sent.
