And thus, you suddenly see your ol' RC responding to mail going back a month.

Great minds think alike, as I also use that here.  I've got a system in Net 393 
who's using software that generates bad dates, and he participates in Fidonet 
thanks to that program.

Messages, yes, but I don't think it will take an archive of PKTs and split them 
into smaller chunks.
