Daniel,
Thank you for the info.
I'm running IMail v4.07. I've noticed in the header that the IMonitor email message
date has the "-500" offset, even though the header date
shows the -0400 offset. The -0400 is correct for EDT and "-0400" is what I have.
I was wondering if this was something that was set during setup and lost in the
registry somewhere.
Thanks again,
John A. Young
