It's been a long time since I checked, but I believe that if you create a message and save it but don't send it, when you finally send it, the "sent" time shows as the time you saved it, rather than the time you sent it. I know this was true at one time and Microsoft was supposed to fix it, but I think that will be in the forthcoming Office 2004. Try an experiment. Create a message to yourself, save it as a draft; then, ten or fifteen minutes later, send it. When you receive it, note the "sent" time. Which is it? The time actually sent, or the time saved? -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/>
