¿ªÔÆÌåÓýA former medical practice`` partner of mine in California is now in retirement, living in Mendoza, Argentina, where he¡¯s now making award-winning Malbec wines.Yesterday we drove (all within one state and one time zone) the 250 miles due east from near Montana¡¯s western border to Bozeman (still quite far west in this enormous state). Ted Turner (he of CNN, the Atlanta Braves, etc) owns a restaurant here at which Bison holds primacy on the menu (Mr. Turner¡¯s 3 herds in MT actually help in preserving the endangered species. We had dinner there last night, and I was surprised at the number of Argentinian Malbec¡¯s on the menu, so before choosing my wine, I sent my friend a quick email asking which I should choose. The waiter was a bit impatient, checked his mobile, and told me it was already after 11 pm in Mendoza (it was ?just after 7 pm in Bozeman). Here¡¯s the puzzle: my iPhone says my email was sent at 19:04; my computer agrees. My friend responded fairly quickly. I missed his incoming message. This morning, I apologized on chance I¡¯d awakened him, and when he responded, what I receive on my iPhone says that I sent my apology at (9:39 (GMT -0:500), but that¡¯s not correct, since Bozeman is GMT -0:700). Turns out my friend is currently in Florida, which is GMT-0:05, but it¡¯s confusing that the message reports while quoting from my message as follows
I did indeed send it at 9:39 Florida time, but in quoting my message shouldn¡¯t the header quote ¡°from¡± information (who sent it and when it was sent) using the same time reference appropriate to the quotation¡¯s origin?. After all, when I send a message I know where I am, but may have no idea where my respondent is. Admittedly what I¡¯m reading here is what my friend is quoting about that message, and maybe the the time stamping of messages in headers doesn¡¯t get transferred from the header of a quoted message. It certainly is confusing! By the way, even without my friend¡¯s guidance, I managed to choose the ¡°right¡± Malbec! Jim Robertson
