I tolerate, but do not even slightly like, the fact that the dates that come
in are dependent on the senders time/date stamp. Putting a realistic time
stamp on a message is certainly not forging anything. Currently, messages
come in all over the place (with regard to time/date order). Is this good? I
think not!
And while
we are on the topic of the list server, is it possible to have a
common date stamp put on all messages that are sent out from the listserver?
One of the major pains I have is when messages come in from different time
zones, and this ^%$^&$ software (Netscape Mail) sorts the damn stuff by date
without the option of not sorting. Among other reasons, a common date stamp
makes it FAR easier to keep track of who might be responding to something
first.
