   I know, and I even thought about implementing such a function in FMail. But it   
   would be difficult to do it right. Because for instance there are messages   
   without the TZUTC kludge. How do you sort those. I you use TZUTC 0000 as   
   default, they will probably end up in the wrong order. I thought about   
   creating a table for this that couples the netnumber to a particular timezone,   
   but there probably are nets, that have nodes in different timezones. And of   
   course there are nodes that are in nets that are not in their timezone. So   
   lots of things that can go wrong, so I never took the time. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
