Thanks John,

I tested with a machine running the 2.10.2010 release and it is the cause for so many of the problems this year.

PMMail does have some DST issues, but Peter has fixed them.

Thanks,

jimmy

Could it be related to this:

Microsoft's "April Fools Day Bug"
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/headlines/2001.asp).  It seems that
a common version of Microsoft's C compiler calculates the start of
Daylight Savings Time wrong on years when April 1st falls on a Sunday,
so that any programs compiled using that compiler think that DST
doesn't start until April 8th.
