Just for completeness, can I confirm that using "image-temp: latest" in the default.conf file worked perfectly. The latest image is labeled "latest", I can therefore email using the fixed path to the log file, and the image does indeed get relabeled at the next run back to the time at which it was orginally run. Very helpful feature! Thanks again
