Hallo Wilfred!

This might be a problem with some tossers, but it's not a problem with the
Squish specification itself. It would surprise me, if Squish didn't use the
original date for rescanned messages.
Quote from the Squish Developers Kit Version 2.00:
__ftsc_date char[20] 218 FTS-0001 compatible date. Squish
applications should not access this
field directly. This field is used
exclusively by tossers and scanners
for preserving the original ASCII
message date. Squish applications
should use the binary dates in
date_written and date_arrived to
retrieve the message date.
I suspect hpt from the husky project. In scanarea.c, function makeMsg:
