On Sep 5, 2008, at 12:23 PM, Anne Cartwright gave an email header:
This is better because more information is there. I think the time problem is because the originating computer has its clock messed up. To understand headers, you have to read them from the bottom up. I've put in comments numbered chronologically, so the oldest events are at the bottom. Start with (1) and work your way up to (4).
(4) It was placed into your account on a different machine at win.net about a second after win.net got hold of it.

(2) It looks like bedroom immediately contacted the Bellsouth SMTP server, and the Bellsouth server passed it on to an AT&T server. This happened at 5 Sep 2008 12:10:04 +0000, or a little after noon in Greenwich, according to the AT&T server. I trust the clock in the AT&T mail router more than I do the clock in bedroom, so this leads me to believe bedroom's clock is an hour fast.

(1) Below is the original content created by Outlook Express on Windows. Notice that the time of the message is given as "5 Sep 2008 08:10:10 -0500". This corresponds to a GMT time of 13:10:10 +0000, or about 1:10 PM in Greenwich, England. This is the time the computer named "bedroom" thought it was when the message was sent.
