I have an application that uses CDO to send an email alert to management when
certain events occur. The messages alway have the wrong time. It appears
the time is UTC. The computer date and time are correct on the machine
running the program (SBS2003R2). How do I get the local time on my email
alerts.

Hi Brassica,

As Mark suggested, for .net/ASP.NET 2.0 application, it is recommended that
we use the Systme.Net.Mail component for SMTP mail processing. Also, for
the datetime issue, I'd like to confirm whether the datetime in the email
is incorrect or just the format (timezone) is incorrect. For example, is
the time in the message still accurate , but not in the correct local time
offset?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Time is in UTC but is correct. I want it in Mountain Time.

As for System.Net.Mail; I spent several months trying to get this to work
and finally gave up and went back to CDO which I have used for many years.

Thanks for your reply Brassica,

Would you provide me some code snippet of your CDO message sending so that
I can perform some local test on it. BTW, may I also have your current
client operating system's version and some .net framework environment
information?

Thanks for your reply Brassica,

I've just performed some research on my local windows 2003 server box. It
seems the email sent via the CDO sys(or the .NET System.net.Mail
componenhts) can display the local time on client machine(the SMTP client),
for me I use outlook. Also, event I change the culture info or timezone at
server, it won't affect the client-side displaying result.

Here is my test code(the CDO code you provided as well as system.net.Mail
code I used):

==============================
private void btnCDO_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CDO.Message oMsg = new CDO.Message();
CDO.IConfiguration iConfg;
iConfg = oMsg.Configuration;
ADODB.Fields oFields;
oFields = iConfg.Fields;

ADODB.Field oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"];
oField.Value = CDO.CdoSendUsing.cdoSendUsingPort;

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"];
oField.Value = "smtphost";

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"];
oField.Value = CDO.CdoProtocolsAuthentication.cdoNTLM;


oFields.Update();
oMsg.From = "(E-Mail Removed)";
oMsg.To = "(E-Mail Removed)";

oMsg.Subject = "New turnkey order: New Email";
oMsg.TextBody = "Hi, this is a test!";
oMsg.Send();
}

private void btnNetSmtp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE");
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(
"(E-Mail Removed)",
"(E-Mail Removed)",
"test email for issue",
"this is a test email!");

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtphost");
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

client.Send(msg);


}

No progress yet as I have been out of the office for a few days. I will
