Simple. E-mail is all timestamped as derivation from GMT, and so e-mail from *anywhere* comes into my inbox with adjusted local time displayed for its timestamp. Ergo, if I send a message at 7:00 p.m. from the east coast, all the listserv buffs in Calafornia will see my e-mail's time listed as 4:00 p.m., which is the real time when I sent it. It doesn't matter WHERE he lives--if everything is working and set right, twenty four people in twenty four differnet timezones could send messages out and they wouldn't even notice. Of course, since The LE's message was marked for 8:22 and YOUR message was marked for 10:33 p.m., it's likely that there's a time bug either on the mailman listserv or in my e-mail program. ;) Considering that The LE seems to be using Hotmail, it just seems all the more likely that either the OGF server is wacked again, or Mozilla (which I'm using) had a date bug in it. DM P.S. As a gripe, does anyone else think the list would make more sense if Ryan adjusted mailman to apply timestamps when it sends the letter out, rather than leaving them intact? I know i've gotten a LOT of inconsistent mailings lately on this list. :( _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
