Wanadoo is French isn't it? We have Wanadoo but I won't be coming to
see you on Monday I'm afraid. The English is not good but that could
just be sloppy, I get like that sometimes. Spelling mistakes "verry"
and "to" which should be too. Also "familly" which is also
incorrect. Hmmnn.

I certainly wondered about those mistakes myself. But while Wanadoo is
French, they own Orange in UK and my account is with Orange, so I don't
think that's significant in itself. I have my own theory about the area
this came from but I'm wondering if anyone else comes up with an answer,
too.

Sacha

And was there an answer?

Who was it?

Did we get to hear what it was all about?

Was it a mistake on Sacha's part?

An explanation would be nice, after all, when someone comes on here and asks
a question, there are answers or suggestions from the readers and there is
no response or a thank you from the original poster, remarks are sometimes
made.

Kindest possible regards. :-))

Incidentally Orange and Wanadoo were recently sold to a German company.

I was guessing.

In your case it is +0100 it's the difference between your local time and GMT.

"On Tue, 04 Sep 2007 18:52:39 +0100, Sacha "

In helene's case it is shown as -0700 or 7 hours behind GMT
"On Tue, 04 Sep 2007 05:21:18 -0700, wrote:"

GMT is also known as UTC.

I know peoples' computers can sometimes be set a few minutes out here and
there. How can they be set 7 hours 'out'?
