   Hallo Wilfred!   
      
    WV> There's also the problem that the squish message base stores date/time

   This might be a problem with some tossers, but it's not a problem with the   
   Squish specification itself. It would surprise me, if Squish didn't use the   
   original date for rescanned messages.   
      
   Quote from the Squish Developers Kit Version 2.00:   
      
     __ftsc_date    char[20]  218  FTS-0001  compatible date.   Squish   
                                   applications should not access this   
                                   field directly.  This field is used   
                                   exclusively by tossers and scanners   
                                   for  preserving the  original ASCII   
                                   message date.   Squish applications   
                                   should  use  the  binary  dates  in   
                                   date_written  and  date_arrived  to   
                                   retrieve the message date.   
      
      
   I suspect hpt from the husky project. In scanarea.c, function makeMsg:   
      
     sc_time((union stamp_combo *) &(xmsg.date_written), (char *)msg->datetime)   
      
      
    WV> This is of course only a problem if you have more than 1 link to an   
    WV> echomail area. Which is never (or shouldn't) be the case for a point   
    WV> system. ;)   
      
   I'm a node in the othernet ;)
