Stacey,
I did some experimenting with my VN which is running Keysoft 5.1 and here is
what I found.
First, there are two dates as you arrow down through the fields of a message
when you are in the inbox. The first date you encounter is between the
"From" and "To" fields. This may actually be part of the "From" field but
is on a seperate line. Anyway, this date I believe is just part of the
database and should match the date and time of your BN. Does this date and
time appear to be correct on your messages?
The second date is actually in the "Date" field. This date and time is a
little more mysterious but appears as though it may come from your outgoing
mail server. It does not seem to come from the BN/VN as I changed my time
zone on my VN and it had no effect on the time that appears in this message.
In fact, I sent email via a different server and had a different time
offset.
The next time you check a message from yourself, look at the number which
follows the time in the "Date" field. This number is an offset from GMT
time and basically is your time zone or at least the time zone where the
server is located.
It may be that a PC based email program like Outlook calculates the date and
time in a different way so that everyone using a PC to get your mail is
seeing the correct date and time while anyone using a BN/VN sees the time
that your ISP's server is providing.
Some of the above is speculation but basically, you may not have any control
over this issue. Where are you located and who is your service provider?

Hi Paul,
Very interesting. I notice the date problem when I go down through the
fields with my voicenote. I recieve my own posts from the list.
