If you are interested enough
the tools/reskit folder of your win98cd contains a timezone editor with
which you can add the daylight savings setting for your timezone, not all
places had (or even have now) daylight saving in 1997/98 when the settings
were made

I went to change the time zone setting to a city which is an hour
later
since we are now on daylight savings. I put in Baghdad which is GMT+3
instead
of Jerusalem's +2, and found it gave me an option to have Daylight
Savings
set automatically. When I set it to Jerusalem, I don't get that
option, so I
reckon they only have it for certain cities.

See http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html, Palestine section.
Could be the software just didn't bother trying to figure out what might
happen to be enforced in your area at some time after when the software
was written, so it's up to you to make a manual adjustment.

See http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/20...t-saving_x.htm
which says, "Israel, for instance, bases daylight time on the lunar
Jewish calendar, and Palestinians change their clocks at different times
as an assertion of independence. Windows doesn't even provide an
auto-adjust option for the time zone covering Jerusalem."

As I said in the original post, OE adjusts the displayed times to the
local time for your PC based on the time zone and daylight savings
setting in Windows.

For received messages it doesn't matter what the actual time is on your
PC.

The received time is supplied by your ISP when the message arrived
there, not when you downloaded it to your PC.

Thank you for your very complete answer!

I had my time zone set to my city (Jerusalem), and had readjusted the
time
manually on my system tray clock for daylight savings. Since the clock
on my
computer was correct, I was surprised to see an email come into my
Inbox with
the view pane displaying the Received time as an hour earlier than my
clock.

So I guess that OE works from the time zone setting rather than the
clock
setting?

I went to change the time zone setting to a city which is an hour
later
since we are now on daylight savings. I put in Baghdad which is GMT+3
instead
of Jerusalem's +2, and found it gave me an option to have Daylight
Savings
set automatically. When I set it to Jerusalem, I don't get that
option, so I
reckon they only have it for certain cities. So I guess in the end I
need to
set my timezone to a +3 city and make sure the daylight savings option
is
unchecked---until the Fall.

Thanks! And also thanks again to Frank Sanders.

Is the correct Time Zone also set? Double click the time and check
the
time zone tab.

Each mail messages has multiple time stamps. You can see these in
File,
Properties, Details.

When you look at the list of messages in Microsoft IE3 Internet Mail
or
IE4+ Outlook Express, the Received time is when the message was
received
by your ISP's mail server. The server supplies the time. This is
the
first (top most) of possibly several "Received:" lines in the message
header. Each mail server that a message passes through adds its own
Received line. These are in reverse order, so that the bottom most
one
listed is the first server that received the message from the sender.

When you open or print a message, the time displayed is from the
sender's PC when he wrote the message, not necessarily when he
transmitted it (depends on the mail client). The time comes from his
PC. This is the "Date:" line in the message header.

The time stamps include a time zone code as either an offset from GMT
(e.g. -0800) or a character code (e.g. PST). The mail program
attempts
to adjust displayed times to your local time. If it doesn't
recognize a
time zone in a time stamp, it treats it as GMT. The mail program
recognizes the US time zone codes and GMT. Most others it doesn't.
Make sure you have the correct time zone setting on your PC. For
Windows look in Control Panel, Date/Time.

Due to incorrect clock settings and time zones and improperly
formatted
time stamps (a number of servers ignore the Internet standards), the
displayed times may or may not be accurate.

My computer is set to the correct time (in the system tray), but my
Outlook Express shows the time for receipt of emails (in the
Received
column of the window) as exactly one hour earlier. How can I
correct
the time in OE?

I have 2KPro, NOT XP.
Thanks,
Janet
