Thanks for your help, but I thought of an easy way just after I posted the
message.
I can use the date +%H command to find out the hour that the mail is
received, and act on this information.
This would be better, because if I receive an email from a different
country, (eg. Your Country), then the time is different to what it is
here.
Thanks again,
Steve.

The cheapest way is to do a regex check on the From_ line.

Find a good regex for checking the time part here and when it's a
suitable value, do what you want to do.
There are numerous postings about this in the archives.
