    I suspect some of that may be the BBS you are using.  My former
BBS didn't do anything to SX or BW packets and there were no
problems.  I assume the date correction was built into the mail
handling software.

   SX and BW packets would not make it off the present BBS until
the SysOp put in a fix.  So go figure.

   Well, as the saying goes, if it ain't broken don't fix it ;-).

    Later, 
      Charles
