Attachment save time 1 hour ahead

[Nick Hoare]

Issue raised today from Outlook users is that saved attachments have a
timestamp 1 hour ahead of PC time. (we are GMT and have 1 hour daylight
daving currently) I have reproduced this and if you remove daylight
saving, attachments have the correct time but the PC/Outlook are 1 hour
slow. Odd that no-one has noticed this before - to do with recent
Windows updates? (Win2K, Outlook 2000)

If you change the Time Zone in Outlook and save the file again the time
discrepancy gets worse. I set to GMT+2. The PC showed 19:15 but the
save attachment had a time of 22:15. This may be a separate problem.

There seems to be a mismatch in the DST settings in WIndows clock and in
Outlook's Calendar. Make sure both the time zones and the DST settings
agree in both places.
