====
To the Mercury list @ bama.ua.edu:

Some reports are coming in about year problems in previous
Mercury/nlm versions:

Mercury/nlm version 1.46 will add the right headers to outgoing and
incoming mail. Of course headers will show "00" in stead of "2000",
which is exactly the same as last year "99" in stead of "1999"
which is of no problem at all.....

Previous versions of the /nlm version (1.43) will put "100" into the
year fields in headers.

We advise you to upgrade to the 1.46 version:

http://risc.ua.edu/pegasus-previews/merc146.zip
ftp://ftp.let.rug.nl/pegasus-previews/merc146.zip

The 1.46 version will show the year as "100" on the console
windows. This is purely cosmetic.

At the moment it's in the middle of the night in NZ, so for the next
couple of hours don't expect any news about this issue from David
Harris.

Year 100 is showing up in the delivery failures too.

If you were subscribed to mercury mailing list or check mercury archives at 
mother site via WWW you'd see this pasted in clip below from a message from 
the author sent to list today<G>.

(begin clip)
The MercuryC component of Mercury 1.47 is now available using this
URL:

   ftp://risc.ua.edu/pegasus/mercurynlm/mc_147.zip  (10KB)

This file fixes a Y2K console display error in MercuryC. It can be used
in either NDS or Bindery mode and is not affected by the base version
of Mercury you are running on your system (i.e, you can happily mix
and match this with other versions).

Mercury/NLM v1.47 itself will be out late this week or very early next
week - the beta test team are doing final testing on it at present.

I just installed MercuryC 1.47 and it did correct the console
thing but somehow they missed the log-file ! And I haven't
heard anybody talking about Pmail 3.40 for DOS ... the
internet autoforwarder adds a nasty line in the beginning of
the header section stating the message was resent at year 100 !
Ok, that can be avoided by configuring Mercury to do all the
stuff but I recall that it was said to be Y2k-compliant as well.

I don't know, I'll have to check it out or check with somebody else to see. I 
have only the 3.50 PMail on this machine and on the WFW machine as well. 
Neither at this location working through Mercury though but dates and headers 
and all are ok in standalone multiuser mode with 3.50. It's availabe in the 
previews directory.
