looks correct to me. -0000 is GMT/UTC.

MST is someplace else, not sure what time zone that is but you're -7
hours behind london right now (i think, or is my maths failing me at
22:09 gmt?)

the mail that you have sent has 14:48 as the Date header, but my mail
client has rewritten that as 21:48, for some reason, i think it's just
adjusting that to GMT time kindly for me, since several people talk
across different timezones should have their mail collated together i
think.
