I mean that starting mid-March a user who had previously been in a -8:00 UTC offset would then be in a -7:00 UTC offset and you wouldn't know the timezone offset changed until they visited the website again.

That’s certainly a problem. But this solution is better than being totally off. Worst case the person gets the mail in the previous timezone he registered which should be before the DST.
