[Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?

[Scott Townley]

Either I misunderstand "Mailed Cutoff" or it's not working correctly in 8.01.
Example:  Mailed Cutoff value = 730 (days, as I understand)...so 2 
years.  My understanding is that any QSL Date earlier than 2007-08-29 
should show up "W" instead of "M".
I have a particular QSO whose QSL date was 2000-02-26.  This QSO (the only 
one in its band-mode combination) shows up "M" in the Country window.  No 
matter the date (even ridiculous ones like 1930-01-01).   The only way to 
make it show up "W" is to completely erase the QSL date field.
I do have all the electronic QSL date fields blank as well.  So it's not 
that.  What I was planning on doing to work-around the "M" "problem" is I 
copy my log to another file, "NX7U_packet.dxl" and in that log I globally 
erase all the electronic QSL dates.  I had hoped that would "restore" the 
original Mailed Cutoff behaviour but no dice.  Or like I said, maybe I 
misunderstand how it works.
TIA,
