Check the headers in the post itself (body pane/tab) -- at least here, they show 20:45:01 +0000. Pan does seem to be sending out UTC stamps, unmodified for local time (+0000). It's modifying from local time to UTC at send. Now the date column in the overview/header pane/tab does indeed get adjusted for local time display, but it adjusts all overviews for localtime. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
