I haven't had that problem with Binkley, but I have had it with the Blue
Wave mail reader. Messages entered directly on the BBS, or through the
Silver Xpress mail reader, have the correct date and time, but messages
entered in Blue Wave are transported five hours into the future. We are 2
hours ahead of UTC here.

I am entering this message on 1998-12-15 3:50 AM

Keep well,
