Can you give an example of this?

Include the "date:" header and what timezone you are currently in, and if you are in daylight savings time.

This problem seems to have started between the 8th & 12th of March this year (based on looking at some emails showing offsets between the displayed time and the correct time shown in the header). Maybe related to the date & time fixes mentioned in version 12?

Sorry I was thinking about the sent date.

Ok, did you change the timezone setting on your computer?

Scribe might not handle that correctly. I'll look into that.

Ok I've confirmed there is a problem with changing timezones. The "receive date" on the email is in local time which means when you change timezone it doesn't update correctly.

Soooooo... what needs to happen is for me to start storing the date in UTC and covert it to localtime just when I need to display it. That way it'll be correct in whatever timezone your computer moves to.

I will code that up tonight... shouldn't be hard. Just a matter of defining a new field ID for "receive date UTC", writing the serialization routines and testing.

Any news on this prolem? I'm getting tired of seeing messages sent to me from the wrong time!

If you're having a problem with mail just received then it's not the same problem I'm talking about in my previous post.

Seriously if you want to get help with this, then please post an example message, including the date field from the internet headers and the data that Scribe displays, AND the current timezone settings for the machine your running on.

I've sent what you've asked for by e-mail; also enclosed a snapshot of the correct times displayed by another client (which were correct).
