Ok, I can see that on a message I have written to someone in the reply they
have sent back (i.e. it would have been in the header of THIER email when the
they received it from me). The header I see on their reply back to ME doesnt
have the offset info - only a simple time/date stamp. I am guessing that the
time shown their is the time it "arrived" according to my local regional time
setting as defined in my msn profile - does that sound correct?
