I like to know when a message hit my messagebase.  So do
others apparantly, even Hudson users, because they have
whacked the date onto the end of the subject line, if it
fits.  I will admit I wouldn't shoot myself if Squish
didn't have it.

Tearline and origin line stay, whilst SEENBY, PATH, etc move
out.

Squish ONLY moves the TOP control kludges out, it does not
pretend to decipher the crap at the bottom.  BFN.  Paul.
