Aha! I've just gone into my computer's clock and found that "Daylight
saving time" was checked (even though the time itself was correct). So I've
unchecked it. If the problem still persists can someone please let me know.
While I don't seem to have been getting any messages out of order
(including my recent postings), I suspect my email program (Eudora) is
sorting messages differently than Hotmail does.
Peter, as long as you don't get this reply before you actually SENT the
original email - now that would be something to worry about!
Cheers
Carol
