Your mail client should show the time in your local zone so it should not matter what timezone the message was sent or recieved in..



But I often get mails from people where the time says it was sent
yesterday, or tomorrow. The point I am making is that I am in South
Africa @ 8pm in SA its already about 1AM in Austrailia so your date/time
in Austrailia will ahead of mine in SA and so the same applies to
people is the US they are behind me.
I cant see how we can all have the same date and time when we are
situated around the world in different time zones.
Look I am not saying I am right here, I just think that this is the most
logical explanation.




Thats the point, those emails that are coming dated yesterday or tomorrow are from the people who's PCs have the incorrect time set.. Thats the people I send the original mail to in order that they set their times on their PCs which will stop us getting mail from yesterday or tomorrow..

See the following header line from the mail you sent..
from [196.25.100.151] (unverified [196.25.100.151]) by pinmail.pinnacle.co.za (Rockliffe SMTPRA 3.4.2) with ESMTP id <B0003292627@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>; Tue, 23 Mar 2004 20:24:39 +0200


That says that the mail was sent at 20:24:39 +0200 my mail client will then compansate (using the +0200) and show the correct time of the mail for my timezone..

Later..
