RE: JavaMail API: SentDate problem

[Keith_McCully@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Gary,

You're right, the message was sent at 9:11:14 BST. It seems that the actual time
is correct but the time zone wrong. I'm not sure but I think the JVM time is set
from the system variable QTIME which does not get automatically updated for
daylight saving. As far as I know, the time zone is not updated or is that
intentional as strictly BST is not a time zone but a daylight saving feature of
GMT?

System.err.println(msg.getSentDate().toString()) gives Tue Aug 06 16:27:32 GMT
2002 and again the time is right but should be BST or GMT+01:00.

Also, TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/London") and
TimeZone.getDefault() give time zone GMT+00:00.

Regards,

Keith

Keith --

I'm not sure what you mean by "Posting Date".  Your "Date:" header shows
the message was sent at 9:11:14 GMT which would be 10:11:14 BST.  Was
that the correct time of sending or was the message sent at 9:11:14 BST?
I suspect that the message was actually sent at 9:11:14 BST in which
case the date header is wrong.

After you set the date in the message, try a
  System.err.println(msg.getSentDate().toString())
and see if that shows the correct time zone.

I'm not sure what time zone is used for your AOL account but it's
possible that it could be wrong as well, compensating for the possible
error in your mail message.

Could you send your message from the 400 directly to me at
<garyp@firstech.com>.  That might help if you're still unable to figure
things out.

Thanks,
Gary
