   If that were the case, then I shouldn't be seeing msgs. from 2020.  This seems   
   to be a contradiction to...   
      
    >> Message pointers determine what message you'll see in a new-scan based   
    >> on their *import* date/time, not the date/time they were supposedly   
    >> written (which is the date/time shown in the message header to users).   
      
   In any case how they're imported is irrelevent from a users' perspective.  It's   
   how it can be manipulated once there that's important.
