ml> pardon me but... WHY!!!!!!!???????????????

ml> it's not up to you to wipe other people's arses is it? if they don't know

ml> help stomp out dingle berries and hand holding... DO NOT code around other

What does the mailprocessor you use do?

1. Send out of spec mail to your downlinks (using the rather lame excuse
that it was someone else's fault, you're just following orders).

2. Fix the dates.

3. Bounce the out-of-spec mail, informing the originator.

4. Delete the out-of-spec mail without informing anyone.

It's a tough choice to make, with no ruling from the FTSC about what we're
meant to be doing.
