# This is a total hack
# For some reason, somewhere in the murky depths of the CCW
# lies some code that makes ActionMailer's :date header act
# like a Date instead of a DateTime. Since Date isn't aware of Time
# :date looks like "Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000" instead of
# "Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:52:57 -0500".
#
# Since we're in EST (-5 GMT), email clients subtract five hours from
# "midnight" (in this case), so all emails look like they were sent/received
# "yesterday at 7pm".
