All the mail clients I've used apply the timestamp when you press
Send. You live in eastern Australia, I assume, and if you observe
DST at all, it won't be now.
Your attribution could benefit from having some indication of the
timezone that /it/ uses: Greg was writing in the morning, not near
midnight. But your clock is OK, as shown by the headers in your
postings:
sending: Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2024 18:13:36 +1000

You asked after your /system/ clock. I don't think I can tell whether
it's set to UTC or Local Time, but only that it is correct, whichever
it it on. Likewise the hardware RTC. The third line of /etc/adjtime
says what the RTC is on; /etc/timezone says what the system is on;
$ date says what your user is on.

Looks fine to me. Mobile numbers are a separate sequence like in the
UK, aren't they, and unlike in the US.
Cheers,
