While visiting S. France I passed through Fontvieille about 8 km NE of
Arles.
There is a Chateau de Montauban where Alphonse Daudet often stayed. He
wrote about the windmills near Fontvieille.
The Chateau was not open. Looking at one side I found a lovely vertical

time but also the meridian line because the couple is self-orienting.

In France, only one time zone is used - based on 15 degrees East of
Greenwich. This would result in a longitude correction of 41 minutes.
Adding another hour for summer time yields a total correction of 1hr. 41

Claude,
At a longitude of 4.713 degrees East in France, official time in summer is 1
hour and 41 minutes in advance to mean solar time.
That is about the difference between a vertical shadow line and the XII hour
line on the sundial.
It goes to show that the sundial is corrected to indicate off

Most of what you describe is done to fool spam filters, I think.
Many ISPs are implementing spam filters on their end to try to stem the tide
of junk mail, which overload their servers. Most of these filter programs
identify certain message elements that make them think an e-mail is spa
