I wonder why I've just received an email re Passiflora antioquensis,

Look ate the Received: lines in the full header that will show if
it's been stuck anywhere in transit. The normal cause is the
orginating PC's clock being wrong...

I don't think I can go into all that, Dave. He was a customer, with an
enquiry so it seems a bit intrusive to do that. I pointed it out to him
and he already knew about it, so to take it further would be
interference he might not welcome. Clearly, he's aware of the problem!

You don't need to involve your customer at all just look at the full
header of the message in your email client. Don't ask me how you do
that under windows, MS seem to make it harder and harder with every
refresh.

If we assume those haven't been forged or mangled by accident,
that would tie down the regurgitation to a couple of systems.
However, decoding that goggledegook (even after finding it) does
need a bit of geekishness.

Just press 'H' for headers most applications understand that!

As I've deleted his messages, all I can say is that he was using Opera
and sending from Australia using tpg.com But as he's aware of the
problem, I expect he'll fix it.
