Description

I have Release 2.0a1 running on a Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 2) on JDK
1.3.0_02. In one of the hosted newsgroups, none of the postings has the correct
date. Each time I download messages from this group, they get the current date.
So they are not timestamped according to the posting time, but to the time of
retrieval and each client has it's own timestamps according to when it
downloaded the messages. I tested this with different versions of Outlook
Express as client.

I tried if this is fixed in 2.0a2 by installing james and then copying
config.xml and the var directory to the new installation directory, but james
behaved the same way. Maybe this is just an error in a news repository
corrupted by james. Feel free to contact me so I can send you the group's
repository directory.
