Are you sure about that? Maybe you are seeing 12-13 days from
when you read a message, rather than when it was sent? The code
is pretty straightforward, deleting messages from the message_web
table where TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(date) > 15.
I can leave a message in my queue next time I get one and see
how long it takes to delete. :-)

I had one dated 12/3 that went away sometime yesterday
(12/15). I noticed it late last night, so likely after midnight
GMT. It seems about a day sooner than an off-by-one
misperception on my part could account for. I think that I
remember a similar issue before the time limit was changed
from 15 to 30 days (i.e., messages being deleted after 28
days or so).
Yeah, this is not anything like a serious problem. I'll try to pin
down the next message, as to deletion time, but it won't be
for another four days or so.

You are johndiii on Slashdot? I just want to make sure I've got you,
so I can look at the messages you have there now, and can note
when they delete, look at their current dates, etc.

Well, all of my old messages were deleted somtime between
3am (CDT) Saturday morning and 1am Sunday morning. I had
26 new messages. Has the limit been lowered (it used to be
55 or so, correct?)? So I can't say if the message that I was
watching was deleted too soon (it would have been last night
or today sometime). If this is a deliberate change, it would
be really nice to know before it happens. Thanks.

A saved message from December 20 was deleted last night,
exactly as it should have been for a 15-day time period. It
appears that this issue was either a mistake, or has been
fixed. Thanks for your time and attention.

question concerning my account; is it OK to e-mail you (don't
want to impose on your time)?

Yes, the limit is 25 messages (the message_web_maxtotal var).

Thanks. I'm waiting on the next deletion time, which should
be coming up tomorrow night (for a message dated 12/20).
