Computers are programmed to automatically make the change back and
forth from standard to Daylight savings time.
But this year they've moved the "fall back" date forward, something
about economic savings.
Last time they tried to leave us on Daylight savings time all year
round the school kids were left standing in the dark waiting for the
school bus.
So my computer time "fell back" last weekend. I had to manually reset it.
Then on the new "fall back" date, one week later, I'll have to
manually reset to standard time.

Congress appears to have felt we were not having enough of a
difficult time so in 2007 they passed a law starting Daylight Savings
time 3 weeks earlier and ending it one week later. This cost US
companies billions to reset automated equipment, put us further out
of sync with Asia and Africa time-wise, inconvenienced most of the
country, all in the name of unproven studies that claim we save
energy. {end quote}
And lots more interesting time change facts on that page ...

Incorrect time stamps are a common problem on Yahoo message boards,
or at least on some of them.
Only if you are using the web interface, which neither bob (Outlook)
nor The Clayton Family (Apple Mail) is.
When using a local mail client, it is that computer that stamps the
initial date/time on the message - then the server they use for
sending, then each successive server that touches it adds a header
that is date/time stamped...
