Abstract
A system, method, and program product is provided that receives, at a recipient's computer system, an email message from a sender's computer system with the email message including a time offset value in a metadata area of the email message. The time offset indicates an offset between the time zone that is used at the sender's computer system and a base time zone. A total time offset value is computed based on the received time offset value and the time zone used that is used at the recipient's computer system. Time notations that have been included in a body area of the email message are converted to the second time zone by applying the computed total time offset value to the time notations. The converted time notations are displayed, along with the body area of the email message, on a display device.
