   I'm going to guess that newscan dates (specifically to echomail) is based on   
   when the messages arrive on your system. So rescanned messages would all be   
   considered arriving on your system the same day/time you do the rescan.   
      
   During the rescan, you would have to specify how far back to rescan messages   
   in your netmail to the hub, with the rescan options provided from Areafix.   
   (ie: 30 days, etc).   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
