Hi! Wilfred,

Maybe so.  They were only test posts within a 'sandbox'.  OTOH, I've just now
checked the mail bundle with David Nugent's 'InspectA' util, and found the
posts were written properly.  Even the TZUTC values were correct.

I used to when I first started toying with FMail/lnx, but soon turned that off.
 They're effectively being backup up for the duration of the testing phase by
not being sent anywhere.  They're boxed in as if "lab rats".  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
