The time on your email was given as 08:15:26PM +0200. That's your local time and the difference from GMT. As I'm sitting in GMT at 18:35, I can tell that you sent your email about 20 minutes ago. Any reasonable email client will be able to use this information to sort emails in strict chronological order, ignoring any local differences. Assuming, of course, that you have your computer clock and timezone set correctly. Dave... -- New .sigs Running in please parse
