   Here's his reply .....   
      
   ---------- 8< ----------   
   The format DD.MM is used if the message was creatd in the last 12 months.   
   Otherwise the format MM/YY is used.   
      
   The weird sorting in the list results of the fact that messages   
   aren't sorted by creation date, but by receive date.   
      
   So the message created on 2021-02-13 "Rodrigo Pelaez Fernando Toledo Re:   
   Listado de BBS Lat!" was received before the message created in Jan.2021   
   "Flavio Bessa Fernando Toledo  Daily Nodelist proceusú".   
      
   But anyway, i'll have a look at it to see what could be done.
