[NTLUG:Discuss] GMT and email Date & Time stamps.

[egome@ticnet.com]

I have a user that is REALLY getting confused trying to sort his email.
He uses Eudora 4.3 for Wingnuts in IMAP mode to retrieve his messages from
an account on a Slack 7.1  box that is configured with
sendmail/fetchmail/and the PINE POP3 and IMAP servers.

The issue is that some mail comes in stamed with a GMT time such as in this
header: 
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 16:36:33 GMT

While other message are stamped:

Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 10:32:27 -0600

(note: these date stamps were pulled from the PINE 4.21 client accessing
his mailbox.)

The first example was a message that we sent to his mailbox from a web
based email service. (a la yahoo).  The second message was a message that
we sent to ourselves from the local eudora client.  Of course it never went
beyond the mail server seeing as how the server saw the message as a
'local' delivery.

So where do I start?  All I know is that it's a time issue...I have no idea
what hypothesis to form, and without a hypothesis, there can be no
solution!

(in other words...I'm lost!)
