You mean GMT+0100 (CET), not GMT+1000 (New Zealand time), right? JF> ,----- [ The Bat Header Line Received ] JF> | Samstag, 31.

In fact, GMT+2000 is GMT-0400+1day. So, New York time, but tomorrow. But luckily, TB! assumes GMT+0200, not GMT+2000. Now, here is an idea: You are looking at the times now, and now you are in GMT+0200. So it is possible that TB! takes the conversion time from the current Windows setting, not the time at time of sending or receiving. I don't know whether that's right or wrong, a bug or a wish list item, as we don't have winter time here. We have 12 months of summer per year. So we don't have the problem (and huge economic cost) of having to change our time zone. Due to lack of winter, I cannot reproduce your problem.

No. 9 minutes is not bad, depending on the interval you check your mail. I check mine every 10 minutes. You fail to inform uis of the time zone in your setting. JF> For info about risks and byeffects, please ask your mathematics teacher ;-) It's so wired, it's even weird. My theory, as stated above, is that TB! takes your current time zone settings in Windows to convert, rather than the time zone when the message was received. This may be WAD, and you may not like it. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.2.9.4 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.9.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
