Re: Time Stamps Question

[Keith Larson <keith@tech.activeresponsegroup.com>]

Thanks Charles and Ed.


The Date Recorded I am referring to is in the client email when they  
list all mail.
I do agree I think it is GMT time but I wanted to make sure that it  
is not the server sending that as the wrong field or something.
The test case mail I sent I received seconds afterwards but the  
timestamp via the mail client list was hours off but once viewing the  
mail itself shows the correct time.
I think it is an odd issue with these mail clients but since they are  
so main stream I had to ask.
Thanks guys.

Keith
