nothing... they were all changed from their original arrival appearances...
namely the dates were changed...

AFAIK, they all were processed and tossed into Max's synchronet bbs... Max
started off by filling their message areas from mine by rescanning everything i
have... some couple of hundred meg of PKTs later and they had everything...
since then, their system has its own purging schedule but they pull every echo
i have... i do know that their dupe detection is set for like 20000 or was it
50000 per area... i don't know what kind of dupe checking they're doing,
though...

FWIW: my main system has only one dupe database to cover all message areas...
not one per area... this is one difference... another is that a message posted
to more than one area is not a duplicate but some systems see them as such
because of a shoddy duplicate detection implementation... but oh well... that's
something they have to deal with ;)
