Greetings Philip, On Wednesday, February 26, 2003, 6:46:50 PM, you wrote: PS> That's true, the headers reflect the time on the MUA, not the time on PS> your PC. Either clock could be wrong or right.

And as the MUA is on the same machine that the MTA resides on it is my option to send immediate or delay sending as the time stamps generated by the MTA and MUA should be exact (+ whenever I send it to the MUA). PS> Created. Not sent. A very important difference, for some people. Electronic Arts, as you, does not care when I created the message but I do. Should a programming problem arise I can go back to my sent folder and get an extremely good idea of when "I" created the message text and not when I saved it to my outbox or sent it. If I need to refer them to when "I" detected the coding error(s) then I have an extremely good idea of when I started the text portion of the message. I may start the message at 10:15am, minimize my message editing window, open the source code, make changes, recompile, test, and find the problem corrected. At that point I can open my production timeline and report the error was found at 10:15am, recoded and corrected at 7:27pm. If there is a question on their end I fire off my original e-mail that reports the time I originally detected the problem. Anyway .... It gives them a good indication of my production cycle and furnishes me a very close proximity of time for my deadlines. To cut to the quick the timestamp used for the creation template is much more for my purposes versus the receiver's purpose. It's kind of like my sticky note timeline. Yes, it can be manipulated but .... - -- Regards, DG Raftery Sr. Who puts those "Thin Ice" signs out there.
