I see we have a know it all on the list. You are so wrong. I have not setup my e-mail client to change the timestamp to conform to my time zone. I have my Clock in the BIOS set to UTC and I have told Linux to use that for the clock setting in the OS. My mail client KMail uses whatever the setting is in the OS. Unless you have changed your settings you will see that the timestamp is one hour different from what time she said it was just before she sent her post. She also acknowledged seeing some weird timestamps on her e-mail. Windows has a problem at times with keeping the time set correctly. It will change the time by one hour before or after the correct time. It usually has to do with the BIOS clock and the OS clock setting and the daylight saving switch. I work with Windows systems everyday in customer sites and see this happen a lot. I have to correct it or it messes up the software I support if it is wrong. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
