Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2020-09-29 10:52:41 UTC
The column time_queued is considered by librarians to be either the time a message was created ( if pending ), or the time a message was sent. Merging patrons will cause this column to be updated, making it look like the message was sent far more recently.

It might be worth considering adding a new column for datetime_created, and datetime_sent, while leaving the existing column alone.
