Thank you, Steve for your help. You are on target. It didn't dawn on me to
check incoming mail for the Greenwich Mean Time zone indicator. (Probably
since Entourage "hides" the information away under the View-->Source, it
wasn't in my face like it is with Eudora.)

I double-checked two separate incoming e-mails which had the wrong time
(that I posted a note about earlier) and both were set to the wrong time
zone in the Macintosh date and time control panel.

I have a feeling that this is a much more common problem than anyone knows
about. The time zone is critical because it also stamps all of your word
processing documents, spreadsheets, and even some games. And if you're
looking for that file (or e-mail) created two weeks ago and it's got the
wrong date/time on it, it can lead to a lot of confusion.

Take care,
Kurt

What does the Date header say (View->Source)?  It should look something like
so:

Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 01:36:03 +0000

Which is the Date as put on the email by the SENDER'S email client.  The
above message (was from Ram Ray) indicates it was sent on Sunday 13 May at
1:36 am from the GMT time zone (so, unless Ram Ray lives in England) he has
his date (or more likely time zone) set wrong.

The �xxxx is the number of hours and minutes you are away from GMT.  So look
at the date header of the incoming messages in question and see if they are
correct.  All Entourage does is adjust for time zone.
