I didnt think DateTime was a null terminated string? Its 20 Bytes in the packed message header (FTS-0001.16 C.1).

"A packed  message has a number of fixed  length
      fields followed by four null terminated strings."

(those being: to/from/subject and text are null terminated).

Or have a missed something?
