Hi Oliver,

On 2019-11-21 18:23:14, you wrote to Alan Ianson:

There's also the problem that the squish message base stores date/time stamps
with a resolution of 2 seconds. That has been causing problems in the past
where a squish system forwarded messages to its other links with the
date/times changed from the original, and so causing undetected dupes on some
systems.

This is of course only a problem if you have more than 1 link to an echomail
area. Which is never (or shouldn't) be the case for a point system. ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
