Thanks for the explanation.  So far I'm pretty happy
because I don't use either of the capabilities of Max that
have been said to require this workaround (I don't ask for
birthdays and I don't set expire dates).
The only thing I personally use at the moment that concerns
me is the message dates coming out to 1900 as someone
posted.  And I like to purge by date rather than total
number of messages.
