->Irex with its built-in binkp. The dates are correct and intact in the inbound 

->packets.  The echomail areas in the BBS are in squish format (and were tossed 

->by squish).  The dates are missing (or appear to be) in the echomail files 
->within the BBS.
->
->I'm just using OS/2's included text editor to view them and whether looking 
at 
->the Irex packet or the tossed squish file in the BBS, they have lots of funky 

->symbols in them.  These symbols may be masking the date in the BBS files, I'm 

->not sure.
->
->The BBS computer is real, not a vm.  Regardless I don't think the system 
clock 
->has any bearing or the dates would be different, just off.  Instead they are 
->all exactly the same.
 
By mailer I means are you using the Squish software itself (which I believe
has a Y2K update you may need if that is the case), FastEcho, or something
else?
