I'm not absolutly sure about this, but maybe that time is wrong? "EST" is
the abbreviation for Eastern Standard Time: East coast of the USA. But you
are not on the East coast, right? You're somewhere around Japan? I'm
thinking that because the time your email came in is given as:

Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:06:41 +1000

And "+1000" is some where in Asia. To be sure, you could enter on your
system:

$ date +"%c %z"
Wed Aug 30 11:25:04 2006 +0200

That gives the time zone not as an abbreviation, but as a number relative
to Universal Time. My time zone is, you can see, +0200. That is 2 hours
added to UT, being Central European Daylight saving Time. Eastern Standard
Time (East coast of USA) would be: -0400.

But that is just a guess, maybe your time is right and the abbreviation
"EST" is just not unique.
