Some of my QSOs I had marked LABEL-Y for sending out constantly seemed to
change their LABEL status back to N for no reason. I was confused and what I
finally found out was a kind of a bad surprise:

If you have have received 2 QSLs from a certain station for QSOs on the same
band and mode in different times and you have either one or both of those
QSOs marked as LABEL-Y for replying then after pushing the Remove Duplicate
QSLs button both LABELs are turned to N!

In other words if there are two confirmed QSOs with the same station on the
same BAND/MODE the the program treats the situation as if you had ALREADY
SENT A QSL! It does not matter that the QSL Date is empty!

After running a search of confirmed but not mailed QSOs today and manually
checking them all I found tens of unreplied Direct and Bureau QSLs because
of that Bug. Sorry to those that have been waiting for Direct confimration
in vain! You will get it know.

Can anybody verify that bug?
