  __ftsc_date    char[20]  218  FTS-0001  compatible date.   Squish
                                applications should not access this
                                field directly.  This field is used
                                exclusively by tossers and scanners
                                for  preserving the  original ASCII
                                message date.

If the first tosser/scanner touches the message, where does the original ASCII date comes from?

Regards

Kai
