i would if i wrote C schtuff...

that's why i said "a changelog"... it may have been in the message api as it
had something to do with some date field...

oh... i wasn't really aware of that... i've just been using my original
pre-y2k patched one... recently i've moved a lot of my personal stuff to my
linux workstation so i wanted to maybe also try timed... i have golded and it
is ok but timed has always been my favorite...

shouldn't be too much problem ;)

oh no... if JAM doesn't work, that's a show stopper... the husky stuff is
using smapi and there is jam and squish in the output libsmapi.so file... i'm
not sure what other formats are being used, though... i just have JAM set up
for everything and since i'm using BSO, even my netmail area is JAM instead of
MSG... times like this i kinda wish i had learned C so that i could maybe fix
things like this :(
