I know I probably seem wierd, but now I'm going to try to develop a way to mentally read it based on your suggestion. Mon, 03 Sep 2001 15:38:00 -0400 Read as: "local time is 15:38, which is 4 hours before UT" "local time 15:38, 4 hours before UT" "local time 15:38, 4 hours 'til UT" Yeah, that might work. "local time, change sign" is shorter, not sure which is more useful or more memorable -- your approach might be more useful, the "local time, change sign" might be more memorable. Well, we'll see the next time I try to see what time an email was sent. Randy Kramer
