timezone errors on 2.1.8

Previously, cfexecd would either not set the date, or it would set it as:

 Date: Mon,  9 Aug 2004 15:33:53 +1000 (EST)

(sourced from a 2.1.6 on RHEL 3ES)

Now, after upgrading to 2.1.8, the same mail header looks like

 Date: Mon, 09 Aug 2004 15:30:42 EST

(2.1.8 on RHEL 3ES)

which has the side-effect of causing mail readers to think that it's the
USA EST and not Australian EST; so it looks like my webservers are
configuring themselves at 6:30am tomorrow.

Is there a good reason why cfengine sets the Date header at all?  I trust
the MTA to set the date correctly on machine generated email; after all, I
got cfengine to configure NTP.
