An interesting bug in PowerMail 5.1. Summary: PowerMail puts inaccurate timestamp in outgoing mail if you change the time zone while it is running.
Details: If you open the Date and Time panel of System Preferences while PowerMail is running, and change your time zone, PowerMail will put a date stamp in your mail that has the _local_ time of the first time zone but the _time zone offset_ of the time in the second time zone, resulting in an inaccurate time stamp for the outgoing mail.

The three hour difference reflects the bug in PowerMail. The mail was really sent at 1 Mar 2005 17:05:57 -0500 (San Francisco time). A
