   My appologies, I will try and explain better. Basically when I join a new FTN   
   and request a  %RESCAN to areafix from the hub to download all previous   
   echonet messages let's say it download 20k messages. That is all fine and   
   well, the problem is it shows    
   20k new messages, and when selecting 'Set Newscan Date' as a user in the   
   Messages menu of the BBS, and select lets say todays date. Then, I go open the   
   Indexed MSG Reader, and the majority of message bases still show New with   
   messages much older than the    
   date selected.
