Since you are in time zone -5 (according to your mail headers) it looks as
if you may well  have a configuration problem. 

It appears that for some reason you are getting UTC rather than your local
time.  I have seen this happen under Linux: there's a choice of whether
the real time clock should run local time or should run UTC and have the
system apply the time zone correction. I don't know anything about the
Windows situation, though.
