Do you consider Outlook Express a Mailer? If so, please note that: - A message composed (created) at 20:02:28 and placed in Outbox to be sent later, shows a 'Sent' time of 20:02. It is obviously the Created time because the message hasn't been sent yet, it is still in Outbox. - I Sent the message to another of my accounts at 20:05:17, and this is reflected in the first Received header line generated by my server: ,----- [ ] | Received: from maria (192.168.0.4) by puli.ermapper-spain.com (Mercury/32 v4.01a) with | ESMTP ID MG00176E; | 28 Dec 2003 20:05:17 +0100 | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | From: "MAU" | To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: test send | Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 20:02:28 +0100 `----- But the Date, as you can see, still shows 20:02:28. When the message is received by TB in my other account, it shows a Received time of 20:06 and a Created time of 20:02, which is correct. It is is the time when the message was _created_, not Sent. Is Outlook Express also wrong? I have no other Mailer to test with.
