Yeah, our timezones are GMT+9.5 normally, or GMT+10.5 in summer time
(which is now).  A half hour difference, but the headers show the time

Grrrrrr!

Locally, it was fetchmail getting mail from my host, dropping it into my
personal (local) mailbox, and I read it through dovecot on the same box.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
