subject: A Question from a User

Hi All,
Here's the substance of a message between myself and one of my users. Can 
anyone shed some light on this?
 JF> When resetting the message pointer dates (restrict dates) lets say
 JF> 13-02-98, it does not give me the mail for those days.  Is there
 JF> something I am not doing right?  Usually you can go back as far as
 JF> you want and do a Download.
I don't think it's anything you are doing. I just did some playing around, 
and it appears that no matter how far back you set the restrict date, it will 
not give you any messages prior to the last message you've previously read 
and/or downloaded.
To anyone, is the above correct?
