The following reply was made to PR ports/55409; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mike Patterson <mpatters@cs.uwaterloo.ca> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, markhannon@optusnet.com.au Cc: Subject: Re: ports/55409: evolution-1.4.{3,4} display incorrect timestamps Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 18:07:00 +0000 I saw this come up in the gnome discussion list, and I have a screenshot to show off: http://comrie.uwaterloo.ca/evo-dateshot.png (names & email addresses elided to protect the guilty) Notes: 1) the machine I run evolution on is in EDT (GMT-0400) 2) its hardware clock is set to GMT 3) its timezone is set to Eastern 4) the machine that particular mail was sent from is also in the Eastern time zone (it sits about 50 feet from me, as a matter of fact) 5) the email was actually sent at 05:25 wall clock time. I'm not familiar with the actual names of the panes, but you can see that in the mail picker, it displays GMT, whilst in the headers of the message in the message preview pane, it displays the full date and time with the offset. If I reply to a message, it claims they wrote it at whatever time they actually did, except it shows; ie, a reply to that message starts off with: "On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 09:25, Super-User wrote:" which is, strictly speaking, correct, but misleading. ;) Anyway, hope this helps. For what it's worth, I find that sometimes exiting and restarting evo seems to help. I don't know if this is a FreeBSD-port-bug, or an evo bug that should be filed with Ximian.
