I did all the "tests" before the first post. This is a bug in Outlook - MS will probably call it a "deficiency". I know what MS is trying to do - to allow the Outlook user to see the "true" (ie. relative) time of several emails. What I mean is that they are allowing you to see that a particular email was actually written before or after another email because, if they are all in GMT then that "normalizes" them. That's all well - and perhaps even goodness - all I want is the ability to have Outlook "adjust" the time received to my own local frame of reference (ie. my own time zone). I'm sure they have gotten lots of complaints about how someone was confused by not having time zones info - but instead of adding the time zone info they decided to just report it in Greenwich time. *sigh* I'm using Outlook 2000. The local mail server is NOT Exchange, and will never be. Even emails sent from one person in the company to another person in the company are reported by Outlook with their GMT value - 8 hours "off" in the eyes of the users. Mgmt will be contemplating switching to NetScape Messenger just to avoid this problem ... OfficeXP is not an option - this company does not upgrade when a product is "doing the job". ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/O2Klist.cfm
