Since you are in time zone -5 (according to your mail headers) it looks as
if you may well have a configuration problem.
It appears that for some reason you are getting UTC rather than your local
time. I have seen this happen under Linux: there's a choice of whether
the real time clock should run local time or should run UTC and have the
system apply the time zone correction. I don't know anything about the
Windows situation, though.
