RE: JavaMail API: SentDate problem

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

Could it be that you need to set the timezone in the
SystemDefault.properties file.
See below from the Ignite400 news letter:

***Quick Hint
Getting your WebSphere Application Server timestamp correct

In the WebSphere environment, it is not just a case of the time on
the system, combined with the QUTCOFFSET system value that defines
how many hours you are different from GMT. You should also create a
file called SystemDefault.properties in '/QIBM/UserData/Java400'.

Then add the following value to it: 'user.timezone=EST'. EST is the
time zone for your location, do not include the quotes. A key point
here is that the zone you enter will depend on the JDK your WAS
version is using. For instance to the correct British Summer Time
setting under WAS 3.5 is Europe/London.

I can confirm that the time of 09:11:14 shown above is actually correct
but when
I view it thru Lotus Notes Mail client the time is 1 hour ahead @ 10:11:14
(which is the same time as shown on the "Posted Date" field.)

Also, I sent the same message to my AOL mailbox and there the time was
shown
correctly. So it seems that JavaMail is working OK and the incorrect time
is set
on the receiving mail server from the "Posting Date"?

Keith
