| 364013 | 2005-06-14 23:43:00 | Is the time an email is sent ( as shown in the header in the received message) the time on the senders PC or the time the ISP receives the email? If an email which is alleged to have been sent to two recipients has two different dates on it, (a day apart) then can I conclude that this email was sent as two separate messages? At different times? A complication is that the message was sent from the USA. thus different time zone and date to NZ. But if both sent at the same time from one PC then that shouldn't make any difference. Any thoughts? |

| 364015 | 2005-06-15 01:09:00 | The time on the received email on the basic header information is the time that the sender has set on their computer. To see the times received by the ISP servers you need to view the full headers. |

| 364017 | 2005-06-15 04:43:00 | Thanks guys. Sent a test to two different addresses and both showed the originating computer time. FYI the issue is that a person claims an email reply was sent from a NZ PC to a US address. But looking at the dates and times on a photocopy, it is physically impossible for the reply to have been sent less than 19 hours (allowing for time zones) after the US message was originally sent. But it was = FRAUD. |
