Depending on your mail client, it may show you messages with the date/time as the author saw it (their time), or translate it into your own time. Both have their advantages. Dates showing the author's time, allows you to see that they were writing to you at 3 in the morning. Dates translated into your own timezone allow you to easily see that they wrote you ten minutes ago, for example, without you having to correlate your timezone and theirs, and do a calculation. Some mailers do both. e.g. You see their time, with a translation to yours next to it in brackets. > My question about screen saver were answered!

And so modest... ;-) I think Patrick asked you if you had a mail problem, since you seemed to be repeating yourself, in different messages, and there might have already been a reply to one of the earlier posts answering your query. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
