   either is fine AFAICT... the seconds might be nice to help avoid duplicate   
   collisions but that's not a real bother in netmail...   
      
    ac> Perhaps Ben Baker's original MakeNL did this but I can't think of a   
    ac> good justification for it.   
      
   i'd have to look at a generated netmail from makenl since i still run the   
   original... i do know that frontdoor doesn't seem to have a problem with it...   
   evidently it can detect and use either... my makenl posts outbound netmail   
   directly to my FD netmail area...   
      
    ac> Obviously the weekday can always be calculated from an FTS-1 date.   
    ac> Storing it is completely redundant.   
      
   WAG: seadog might have done it that way to save on calculation time... since   
   it was already done by the originator, all they had to do was to display it...
