That would only be true if the message somehow just showed up where it
belonged in line. If it posts as a new message 28 days later, it is highly
confusing. This instance has proven that. Besides, it is a disservice to the
users to have their messages lag a month behind the intended date...think of
it as a customer service issue.
This is a very rare occurance, but it is a known problem. Is there a solution?
