Hi, and a happy new year to everyone.

I run a list distributed from WVU.EDU which is located in the Eastern 
Time Zone.    Every year at 12:01 a.m. I send a new year's greeting 
to all the subscribers.   This message is sent from a mail server in 
Newfoundland (EST + 1.5 hours).   The message always has the correct 
date in the "Date: " header.   However, it gets distributed at 10:32 
p.m. EST.   Is there a way to ensure that the date the ends up in the 
archives is 01/01/20** and, more importantly, that the time ends up 
showing as midnight +, instead of what it does now?

It appears that the archive ends up showing the actual date and time 
that listserv distributes the message, and so there is probably 
little or nothing I can do, short of distributing the list from a 
Newfoundland server.    Or, since the message gets sent out 
automatically with crontab, setting it to go out at 1:30 a.m., in 
order to get a midnight date stamp.    But there's no harm in asking.

Bill
