That date isn't written in GMT. If you had day light savings in effect, the offset would be different. Recipients would use the two together to correlate to their own time. Programs which sort mails in date order would believe the dates, regardless. People start to see replies sorted before original postings. It gets confusing. Because of large numbers of people with mis-set clocks, I used to sort my mail in order of reception. That can also misorder things, but tended to do it less. These days, because I have a mail client that supports threading, and so do most people on this list, I sort using threads. I still get some things out of order (e.g. numerous replies to the same original post), but the order of replies to replies is usually right. Unless someone mangled the threading headers, didn't reply properly, or replied to one of those (simple) digest posts. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
