Most time in email transactions is recorded as UTC (AKA Greenwich Mean Time) +/- the timezone offset in hours.
In other words, the time stamp on this message should read something like 11:24 -4:00 I'd guess you're West Coast USA, at which point that would be correct. During non-Daylight savings time, you'll find that offset is -7:00 for yourself, rather than 6. Roger ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
