Oops...ought to clarify for readers that this is a web interface problem.
Obviously those having the messages delivered via newsgroup or e-mail would
not see this as a new message...it would just show up by date where it
belongs in their e-mail/news reader. In the web interface a message is
posted in-line as new regardless of when it was intended to be posted.
