I, for instance, am in St. Louis on CST but the host I usually send mail from is in Cupertino, CA and is on PST; you will therefore see PST time-stamps on some messages I send (and CST on others, because one of my mail systems allows me to specify which time-zone to use). Seeing PST time stamps on my messages won't much help anyone tell when I sent it (if they want to know if it's too early/late to phone me, or something like tht). -Rich
