I *think* it was an error with a packet in FSX_DAT that caused the
official last callers mod (by xqtr for mystic only) to hiccup and the
resolution was to wipe the entire FSX_DAT message base.

Or it could be something else.. I've written a few interbbs last callers
mods for various systems it's good to try and be fairly fault tolerant -
i don't know that xqtr's mod is, so also try and make sure you're out put
is as correct as you can be.

ALso, one thing I did notice, make sure you have the capitalization of
the "to" field right. I usally capitalize "ALL" and xqtr's mod will
ignore it unless it is "All" (lowercase l's)

Regarding the time / date.. I don't think it matters too much, I only use
the date in my mods, and it's always a mixture of european / US date
formats - xqtr's mod just uses what ever is local to the BBS. (of course
I fill in the time field, i just don't use it locally)

The way I see it though, if it's posted on fsx_dat and it unintentioally
breaks a mod, really that's the mod's problem - it should be fault
tolerant, or at least skip over messages it can't process correctly.
