Delay Delivery

[Guest]

Hi there

Lets say I create an email at 11am and set the delay to 11.30am. The
recipient of my email gets it at 11.30am and it says she received it at
11.30am.

However, when the recipient opens the email it says the time sent is 11am,
not 11.30am.

Is this happening to anyone else? If so, why? and more importantly, can it
be changed to show time sent as 11.30am?

I am using Outlook 2003.

Thanks in advance.

it's a common problem with most mail servers - they use the sent time as the
time outlook sends it to the inbox, not the time the mail server gets it.

It happens to everyone else.

If so, why?

Because that's the time the message was sent (i.e., the time you pushed the
Send button). Mail servers generally don't care what time a message was
received.

and more importantly, can it be changed to show time sent as 11.30am?

Not from Outlook's end.
