    Uh, yes.  That is a result of a problem I'm having with the beta
version of my MUA, and the resulting work around -- reset the date to
something before 1 Mar 1999, start the program, then reset the date again
to be correct.  The vendor is late in shipping the promised next version,
and the previous version frequently fails to download and process mail.

    I'm using FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE, and I originally picked the vinum
release that most closely mirrored that version numbering scheme
(assuming that you had some reason for choosing it, and that you were
relatively closely mirroring the FreeBSD version numbering).

    I'm now running (or trying to run) the -CURRENT (as of yesterday)
release of vinum.  We'll see if I ever have that particular problem again.

   Usenet is not the web.  Just because the web handles some things
 poorly is not a good reason to apply those same solutions to Usenet.
