There are several reasons why you could be seeing this happen. I am curious whether these emails come from the same source? Also, where is the time zone information displayed? In your own mail reader? or on an automated website? Basically, a mailserver can be configured to give out some information about the time a message was sent. If you are getting emails from different servers in hungary, it is quite possible one is configured to tell other servers "I'm at GMT +1" and the other is configured to say "I'm at GMT +2". If you see messages coming from the -same- server, I'd say this is most likely to be server misconfiguration, on either the sender's part, or the receiver's part. I know there are some time zone oddities out there (Arizona, for example, doesn't do the daylight savings/standard time switch, so they go between being 3 hours behind Eeastern Time to being 2 hours behind Eastern Time, depending on when in the year it is) but nothing that would switch on a daily basis, as far as I know.
