Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, program products and systems for displaying a corrected time included in the text of an instant message. One or more processors determine that an instant message sent from a first user to a second user includes a first time and a first time zone corresponding to the first time and determine that the first time zone corresponding to the first time does not match a second time zone. The one or more processors convert the first time to a second time, wherein the second time is determined based, at least in part, on the first time, the first time zone, and the second time zone. The one or more processors cause the second time to be displayed to the second user.
