I just discovered that my Postorius account allows me to set my timezone.

For some reason, it was set to Africa/Abidjan. I don't live in Cote d'Ivoire. But Postorious has an incomplete list of time zones, which does _not_ include New Zealand (and probably other important places). For now, I decided to live in UTC, which is about as wrong as it could be.
