That sounds like correct behavior to me. The new file date/time is
set during logon (by sbbs) only. The user normally has the option to
adjust it (the &P command in the default shell).
i.e. in Synchronet (like WWIV before it), if you perform successive
"new file scans" during the same "call" (logon), you`ll see the same new
files (unless any new files were uploaded during the call, and then you`d
see them too). Synchronet has always worked this way:
