Hallo Wilfred!

This might be a problem with some tossers, but it's not a problem with the
Squish specification itself. It would surprise me, if Squish didn't use the
original date for rescanned messages.

Quote from the Squish Developers Kit Version 2.00:

  __ftsc_date    char[20]  218  FTS-0001  compatible date.   Squish
                                applications should not access this
                                field directly.  This field is used
                                exclusively by tossers and scanners
                                for  preserving the  original ASCII
                                message date.   Squish applications
                                should  use  the  binary  dates  in
                                date_written  and  date_arrived  to
                                retrieve the message date.


I suspect hpt from the husky project. In scanarea.c, function makeMsg:

  sc_time((union stamp_combo *) &(xmsg.date_written), (char *)msg->datetime)

I'm a node in the othernet ;)
