Can date/time text sent in an e-mail automatically convert based on each
recipients' Windows Time Zone setting? Is there a function in Outlook that
will do this that either isn't documented in the Outlook Help or is simply
too hard to find?
 
Text in an email is fixed and won't get converted into local time. It's not
a time value any more, it's just text. You'd have to write code behind the
mail form to parse the text for the date string, then read the user's
Windows registry to get the local time zone and then convert the string
yourself. Of course that would mean a custom form that would have to be
published in each recipient's Outlook and the forms would not be viewable in
the preview/reading pane.
