Thomas,
Your question has propted this test.
Michael,
Insight has a _Major_ date handling problem.
On 19 Jan, 2038 at 03:14:15 Insight reverts to 01 Jan, 1970 at 00:00:00
All messages created after this date/time get the same date/time stamp.
The big question is..... Can you fix this in time????
After-all, we have less than 38 years before the Y2038_BUG hits us.<vbg>
