In your message: Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 21:40:50 +0200 X-Hebrew-date: 10 Sivan 5762 Too bad nobody taught Emacs that while the Gregorian date changes at midnight, the Hebrew date traditionally changes at sundown. You actually wrote your message in Sivan 11 (usually refered to "Or Le'Yom Yod-Alef Sivan"), not 10. If I remember correctly (but I didn't check, so I might be wrong) neither "hdate" nor "taarich" calculate the correct sundown time (that would also depend on your latitude which they dont know) and they assume some fixed hour (6pm?) for this transition, which makes sense inside Israel (but not in very northern cities). -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, May 21 2002, 11 Sivan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |"Did you sleep well?"
