My appologies, I will try and explain better. Basically when I join a new FTN and request a  %RESCAN to areafix from the hub to download all previous echonet messages let's say it download 20k messages. That is all fine and well, the problem is it shows 
20k new messages, and when selecting 'Set Newscan Date' as a user in the Messages menu of the BBS, and select lets say todays date. Then, I go open the Indexed MSG Reader, and the majority of message bases still show New with messages much older than the 
date selected.
