North American time zones:

EDT – Eastern Daylight Time

Time zone offset: UTC - 4 hours

Note that EDT is a daylight saving time/summer time zone. It is generally only used during the summer in the places listed below, during the winter EST is used instead

Time zone abbreviations: EDT, HAE

Email time zone indicator: -0400

An email sent from someone in the EDT time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0400" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0400" does not have to be in EDT, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).
