What time is supposed to show for received messages,ie.time sent, time received by ISP server, time received by Mail on my machine? On occasion a message will make reference to GMT when recording the time. Is there a specification for times shown on messages sent and received and does it vary by email client? Try http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html section 3.3 to start with. It points to later additions which change things. And 2822 has been on the "standards track" since 2001. RFC 822 is the only adopted standard. There are also newer ones that discuss the likes of "format flowed" which seem to change every time someone wants to distinguish his own mail system as in some way better. Apple's "delsp = yes" addition to that causes all kinds of problems with broken links. -- --> From the USSA, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
