Can anyone do quick test please?

[Peter]

Is there anyone out there with Outlook 2000 that can tell
me if, when they save any received attachment, does the
saved file get a modified and created time that is
different from your PC's clock time? On two PC's I've
tried this (one with Windows XP Pro, one with 98SE), they
have the system Date/Time Properties Time Zone set to
GMT+08:00, and Outlook 2000's Tools | Options |
Preferences | Calendar Options | Time Zone is also set to
GMT+8:00. When an attachment is saved, it gets modified
and created times 8 hours ahead of the Current System Time
(CST). Saving attachments in Outlook 97 and Outlook 98
works normally - the times match the CST. I wonder what
happens in Outlook 2001, 2002, 2003, etc.? - anyone like
to test & let me know please?
Thanks,
Peter

Under certain circumstances, attachments are saved to the hard drive and
dated the time they were received, not saved. It's based on the age of the
message. I haven't checked in 2003, but it's present in all earlier versions
and I expect is also in 2003. Otherwise, I've never seen a problem where it
was off a set # of hours
