[Dx4win] Mailed cutoff - explain?

[Mel]

Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough.

I tried it here and what I note is DX4Win is using the Worked cut off 
date instead of the Mailed cut off date to determine if the indicator 
should be M or L. I don't believe this is correct... at least, if it is 
correct, I don't understand the logic. Perhaps it is a bug.
