   It's in a public message base, however the message I was looking at earlier   
   that exhibited this behaviour in, seems to now be read and I'm still in the   
   23rd Jan local time, so I wonder if it is less related to timezones now.   
      
   I'll keep an eye on it and do some testing of my own and see if I can produce   
   reliable results and let you know how I reproduce it. Starting to feel like   
   it's just me being dense now :P
