When an attachment to an Outlook 2000 e-mail message is saved to disk, the timestamp is wrong. In our case, it is consistently six hours earlier than the machine time. For example, if a file is saved at 10:54 PM local machine time, the file is timestamped 4:54 PM (as seen in Windows Explorer).
We are in the US Central time zone (CST), which is currently GMT minus six hours. We have speculated that perhaps Outlook is attempting to timestamp it with GMT, in which case it would have to *add* six hours to get from CST to GMT. Instead, it is *subtracting* six hours from CST, resulting in a time zone somewhere in the pacific ocean.
This behavior is consistent, reproducible, and has been confirmed to occur on at least three different machines. It is not resolved with the installation of Office 2000 SR-1a, nor does it appear to be documented in the MS Knowledge Base.
Anybody know a solution to this?
