Have you checked his test message using pktdate? If so, has it returned to you
as a dupe modified by another system using pktdate as well?

True. Impulse is a very old software, so while the band-aid helps him export
properly.. I think it'll add to the mess if he starts hubbing for other
systems, much like whatever other system out there that is/was modifying his
originals.

Agreed. Hopefully this is what he's currently doing with the recent addition of
pktdate, since he has to run two separate scanners for outgoing mail. One being
Impulse's IMP-MAIL, and the other being hpt. Run pktdate after IMP-MAIL, and
before hpt sends it to where the mailer can see it.

Regards,
Nick
