UK Lines: 8 I am running Microport Unix 286 version 2.4 with Honeydanber Uucp. All my cron scripts have a call to /etc/TIMEZONE and so all the logfiles use the correct timezone. When I run mail or mailx directly with the correct timezone in the enviroment the log file uses eastern time. Please could someone tell me how I can stop mail from destroying the enviroment? Why does mail do this in any case.
