Yahoo! Mail outgoing messages always at PST timezone
The timezone set on messages sent from my Yahoo! Mail account is always PST. Which is wrong.
My account settings are correct, and at GMT+2 . Other procedures that rely on timezone (like Yahoo! Groups) get that right, and do the time translations correctly.
The email doesn’t. And the problem isn’t mine alone, or something
unique. Not only that, but it also happen with people using the
localized Yahoo! services. All messages from any Yahoo! Mail accounts (that I checked) arrive at PST, whether they are send from an @yahoo.com address, or from others (like an @yahoo.de address).
This is annoying. I do expect messages I receive to be in the
sender’s timezone, it’s much simpler for me to automatically change
hours based on the known location of the sender than on the email
account the sender is using. And I most certainly expect my messages to show my own timezone.
For comparison, Both Hotmail (which is otherwise inferior) and Gmail
do this properly. Not to mention every client-based program. I can’t
think of a single good reason for Yahoo! not to be able to.
