If it used a number one less than it does, than if your setting was to delete after one day, a message which arrived at 2359 would need to be deleted after one minute. I wish it was at least optional to use Received or Created. I find that Created in general is more real. actually it isn't at all. I get messages which where created next week, or even next year, and that were created in 1985. I have no control over the clock settings of someone who sends me mail. By using the received date, you determine that the message will be on your machine for a finite amount of time. -- Dwight A.

Which date is used to determine if a message is old, the Received or the Created one? Received. Besides, TB! actually adds one day to your settings. If you select to remove messages older than 5 days, TB! will keep messages which is up to 5 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes old. Personally, when specifying 5 days, I want to keep messages for five days, not six. Well, thats a minor problem, it's easy to adjust your settings. -- Regards, Marcus Ohlström Using The Bat! v1.60c on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 PGP Public Key at http://www.canit.se/~marcus/pgp.txt Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
