Dec 31, 1969 4:00 PM is GMT minus the sender's meridian (which happens to also be my own). Jan 1, 1970 00:00 minus 8 hours equals the Pacific Time Zone (West Coast USA for me, West Coast, Canada for the sender).
I'm thinking it is the sender's format that is causing the problem. Something in the timestamp is faulting Kmail's clock and returning an arg 0. 0 UT, minus 8 hours and all the messages are Dec 31, 1969 4:00. Any code gurus have more insight into this? e.
