Looking at the headers as this was sent to me, it is apparent that a few sites
along the way are using GMT:

Specifically, and server which indicates the time and then "-0000" is on GMT,
not local time, which will show the skew. If your mail server is also on GMT,
and you use pop to get mail from it, you will get the bad times. I run my
own server, and hence, the times are readjusted correctly upon receipt.

Emery I think you've got way too much time on your hands!

With over 100 msgs a day I have all I can do to
read/reply/delete/forward/file/etc, without looking at the time. How do
you do that?

Just an inquiring mind.

Tim's explanation is about as good as any. I'm really no authority
of the complexities of mail routing on the web.
