I know, it very well could be. Or it may be that your email client does not use the bad Date header. Instead it may use a date that appears in one of the Received headers which are added by each SMTP server the mail passes through. This is what my two colleagues' email clients do, so even though WebDNA is still setting a bad Date header their clients are basically ignoring it. If this is the case with your email client then the problem may actually exist on the Windows version even though you're not seeing it. > However I will look at the raw headers from some emails > and confirm. Thanks. I'm not trying to create problems here, I'm just trying to make sure it is really NOT a problem on Windows v6.2, and the only way I can think of to make absolutely sure is to check the Date header added by WebDNA. Another issue we should consider here is whether or not your WebDNA server is in a location that uses Daylight Savings Time. Because if not, your Date header is probably going to be correct anyways ... It seems this problem exists only when the server's location is set to a location that is currently using Daylight Savings Time. The rest of the year the Date headers added by WebDNA are apparently correct. That's what has been reported in the talk list archives anyways. We use DST in the summer months here in the USA. If you do the same in Australia, you probably won't be using DST until later this year, because you're in winter now, right? Sorry if I'm making bad assumptions here, I'm just trying to consider all the possibilities so I'm mentioning them as they occur to me. Sincerely, Kenneth Grome
