I know Linda is aware of all this since we've covered it before. But for general information: This issue with the time stamp has to do with the time stamps at two servers: turing.freelists.org and your POP3 server. The last stamp wins so I'd suggest that if your computer's time is correct then the issue is probably at your ISP's time server. Also, the [mso] header is applied at turing.freelists.org for all messages for this list. It does this simply by looking at which list the message is sent to and pre-pending that value to the subject line after confirming that such a list exists and that you are a member of it with posting privileges. Here are the pertinent headers for the message I'm replying to. When you get my message, this one, compare the similar header fields and the pattern will start to come alive. If you want to work on a custom solution of your own, it's in these message headers that you'll find the information you need for sorting. Unfortunately, most of the mail readers out there make getting to this sort of a content a bit nightmarish. Anyway, here's the header data. Let's watch it evolve! From: "Linda F.
