I did not "retransmit" old messages, they "got" retransmitted - softwares are not perfect and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug states "it is often considered impossible to write completely bug-free software of any real complexity". If my final device has not received a posting and if its not visible in the discussion forum, then the posting is not visible to me and I have no other way of knowing a message has been posted, so the post gets ignored though not by choice. I use two methods of viewing latest activity on the FIXProtocol.org discussion forums :- 1) Receive email subscriptions 2)Visit http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/ to see latest postings. If a forum indicates a new post has been made with "Last updated DD MMM CCYY HH:MM XM" with the date time part in Red color, I open that forum to see latest activity. The problem here is topics with new replies do not "bubble up" like they do in many discussion forums, for example http://www.coderanch.com/forums/f-25/Developer-Certification-SCJD and other forums at the coderanch site. This was a feature request suggested in http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/ac424324 and http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/1eda1833 >From the message contents (not header) I want to be able to do a staleness >check because [Start quote from >http://www.ez2ba.com/html/help/guides/viewing-email-headers.html ] Many email >programs hide much of the header information because most of the time you >don't need it.[End quote] Posting date & time in email body is to help discard >old messages.

I am not talking of the date of the original posting in replies, I am only recommending including the date and time of current post in the email subscription - either a reply or creation of new thread. I agree interest is triggered by topic and not by posting date. I thought adding date and time in email body is an easy task which could help many people who are reading email subscriptions. > This sounds like a very special case where you retransmit email messages > to a forwarded location with one month delay.
