If by "message" you mean "mail", then, yes, it is possible, just sign up for one of the read-receipt services and use their service to mail the person. It sends you a mail everytime the person opens the mail with the time opened, IP from which the mail was opened and much more info.\nJust register on thei site -\nhttp://www.readnotify.com/

If you have access to the message in question, try to see the FULL HEADERS of the message where you can see the originating IP address. Then trace that IP address with a service like VisualRoute and it will give you an idea of where it came from.

if you have message archiving active on your messenger all you have to do is look under contacts and then select message archive.  if archiving is turned on then it will pull up a list of all your messages and you just find the message you're looking for either by date or ID

Sure you can. \n\nThere is a search bar at the top of your screen type in something from either the subject line, of to whom it was sent.\n\nThough only good if you don't auto-erase your outgoing messages.

There is a service calles ReadNotify that does that. They have a free trial but after that it's a paid service.\n\nYou can sign up at www.readnotify.com

Several other Yahoo products can/will do this if installed. Yahoo Messenger. Yahoo Widget Engine is cool and has a widget to notify you when mail arrives. Either one of those would probably do the trick.\n\nMail itself can't really do this for you, as it is just a web page. It only updates when you ask it to.

Unless the e-mail SERVER you are sending from is on your PC,\n(If you go on-line to log on to you e-mail account, it isn't), you can't.  Sorry.\n\nAnd even if you could change the time on your e-mail server, the recipient's e-mail server would still stamp your message with the time it was received.\n\nI love to help when I can, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news.\nSorry.

I think there is software out there that you can attach to the message so you get an email when it is opened.  I don't know where to find it or how it works, but I have heard of businesses using it.  Just an idea!

I have found the new Yahoo Messagenger to be good at what you need. Now that it has a "memory" of the messages sent by the person, and it has the feature of waiting for the message to be read by the reciever. It works VERY well on 4 of my computers, but has problems with my VAIO computer with the XP MEDIA os. Make sure you have the new version at:\nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com/ to recieve all of the features.

The "Date:" part of the message header does come from the email client. If you're using a web service to send email (like Hotmail or Yahoo mail) it will most likely reflect the time at the server itself and not from your pc.  (This may be where you're getting vastly different times reflected.)\n\nIf you're using an SMTP/POP service through Outlook or other non-web mail client, you should get something approximating your local pc time with a time zone indicator after the timestamp, like -0500 for U.S. Eastern, etc.\n\nHope that helps.

If you mean ">" - it is called a caret.  In this case a right hand caret.  It signifies the message text was from a message that was forwarded to you.
