Sometimes I need to know exactly what time an e-mail is sent to me.
I received an e-mail from someone that uses Hotmail.
I was sent an e-mail from that person and the date and time that was stated in the header is Sat, 11 Nov 2006 15:51:50 +0000.
From what I have been told about time that is displayed in this manner is that it is called military time and that 0-11:59:59 is a.m. and 12:00:00 to 23:59:59 is p.m.
That would mean that the e-mail that I received with the date and time being Sat, 11 Nov 2006 15:51:50 +0000 is 3:51:50 in the afternoon in what I'll call civilian time.
It was a little after 11 a.m. Sat Nov 11 when I opened the e-mail.
The person that sent me the e-mail also lives in the same town as I. Does that have any bearing on the time displayed on the e-mail?
AND PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER OR CANNOT DIRECT ME TO WHOM/WHERE I CAN GET THE ANSWER...PLEASE, DO NOT RESPOND.
THANK YOU.

In addition to the above, the +0000 is an indication of the time difference with GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) in England. Here in the US Eastern time zone, we are -0500, meaning we are 5 hours behind GMT. (-0500 is -05:00 or -5 hours and 0 minutes)

Free email accounts like Hotmail use a protocol called POP3 for email. With that the email is sent from your computer to the sites server somewhere in the country, Hotmail I believe is in California. The email is then sent to your inbox on their server. The time is changed several times in this processes, only the central server of hotmail would know the exact time an email was sent. Unless you get MSN to tell you from it's server you most likely will not be able to find out.

It is the ISP's or your email server that dictates the time. I use a 'generic' ISP and they could be located in Europe for all I know. But my Yahoo mail is in PST and the header information shows the time sent 3 hours before I actually sent it.

i think of its 6 months.. yet they under no circumstances particularly close it, they'll shop it of their device for a protracted time... they could oftentimes deactivate it and in case you request a reactivation they could achieve this
