If I get a "read receipt" stamped 8:31 AM, and it's 5:01 PM where I am,

does that mean that the person who read the message is in Australia??

Inquiring minds want to know.

the west coast of Australia is 15 hours ahead of the east coast of America; the east coast of Australia is 12 hours ahead of our east coast, 9 hours ahead of the west coast.

I have just confused myself here :think:

2. It could also mean their system's clock is off.

I think my mail server's clock is off by a couple of hours.
