->Irex with its built-in binkp. The dates are correct and intact in the inbound

->by squish). The dates are missing (or appear to be) in the echomail files

->I'm just using OS/2's included text editor to view them and whether looking
at
->the Irex packet or the tossed squish file in the BBS, they have lots of funky
->symbols in them. These symbols may be masking the date in the BBS files, I'm
->not sure.
->
->The BBS computer is real, not a vm. Regardless I don't think the system
clock
->has any bearing or the dates would be different, just off. Instead they are
->all exactly the same.
By mailer I means are you using the Squish software itself (which I believe
has a Y2K update you may need if that is the case), FastEcho, or something
else?
