Abstract
A method for use in a messaging system having a database of stored messages, wherein the stored messages include or are associated with corresponding attributes, the desired format of which is subject to change over time, comprises the steps of determining whether a stored message is formatted in accordance with a current message format prescribed for use in the messaging system; and redelivering the stored message if it is not formatted in accordance with the current format. An effect of the redelivery is to update the format of the message to the current format.
