Write "GMT+2" for somebody (like me and most of other western European people) being two hours ahead of GMT. Thus you have the locale timezone and an easily parsable universal time. Sendmail also timestamps its messageid with the GMT (+0) time. Well, then it is not GMT anymore, but UTC... Keld Simonsen
