[ZendTo] Re: Resend notice does not reset pick up period.

[Jules]

Greg,

Bug well spotted. I will add some code into the resend functionality to 
"touch" the datestamp on the dropoff. That'll be the easiest way of 
implementing it. It will just reset the retention period countdown when 
a dropoff is resent.

It's long past time I did some work on ZendTo, I'll see what I can get 
done this week.

Cheers,
Jules.
