[emacs-wiki-discuss] Date strangeness - emacs-wiki-blosxom

[TC]

Gary,

How are manual changes to the date header in an emacs-wiki-blosxom story
meant to be handled? As I played around with it I thought I'd found a
bug in that emacs-wiki-publish-this-page appeared to successfully modify
the published file's timestamp only if the new date was *earlier* than
the original. 

But although that does seem to be a factor, it's not consistent.  I have
a file in which I change the date header, backwards and forwards. 
Whether or not the timestamp on the published file changes accordingly
seems almost random.  Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't.

As well as changing the date, I also make mods to the content, so I can
make sure that my emacs-wiki-publish-this-page is actually doing
something.  And it is.  The file is definitely being transmogrified into
it's corresponding .txt version.  It's just that the timestamp seems to
be changing according to sunspot activity, phase of the moon, or
similar.

I'm actually checking this at the unix file level, so it can't be a
blosxom caching issue (although I have disabled my "entriescache" plugin
just to be sure).

What am I doing wrong?
