Joel Bremson responded,

| It would catch it, along with anything else sent at -0600 (EST).

-0600 is an offset from UTC, a numerical definition of the timezone; it is
not a time of day like 06:00.

Because -0600 is either CST, MDT, or water, NOTHING should ever have a time-
zone of "-0600 (EST)".  The EST with which I am familiar is -0500 (and at
this writing in early September it is in effect only in Indiana, and even at
that there are eleven counties of Indiana which, while they also have a -0500
offset, have it because they're on CDT).  It's very possible that in some
other part of the world from mine a timezone whose offset is neither -0600
nor -0500 might have a name whose acronym is also "EST", but I highly, highly
doubt that there is any valid pairing of "EST" and -0600.

Timothy doesn't have to escape the hyphen, but otherwise the recipe is fine.
