![]() The 'time stamps' on messages aren't determined by your computer, but by the first (and possibly last) mail server the message passes through to get to its destination. We have trouble with BigPond mail servers here, where they claim to have sent a message ten hours before its recieved. You see things like this in the headers: code: Received from mymachine.lan by mx1.bigpond.com (this.is.an.address) 00:03;45 +0000 Received from mx1.bigpond.com by mx.mycompany.com (this.is.an.address) 10:03:47 +1000
