Subj : Validating a moderated message

Hi all,

I'm working on my message reader and have added a method (for sysops) to
validate a message that requires moderation.  It seems to me the way to do that
would be to add the MSG_VALIDATED attribute to a message header and save it
with msgbase.put_msg_header(), but it seems that if I re-load the message
header, it doesn't have the MSG_VALIDATED attribute.  msgbase.put_msg_header()
returns true, which I'd think would mean it successfully saved the header.  I'm
wondering what I might be doing wrong?

This is the code I have for the method:

function DigDistMsgReader_ValidateMsg(pSubBoardCode, pMsgNum)
{
  if (!msg_area.sub[pSubBoardCode].is_moderated)
    return true;
  if ((this.msgbase == null) || !this.msgbase.is_open)
    return false;

  var validationSuccessful = false;
  var msgHdr = this.msgbase.get_msg_header(false, pMsgNum, false);
  if (msgHdr != null)
  {
    if ((msgHdr.attr & MSG_VALIDATED) == 0)
    {
      msgHdr.attr &= MSG_VALIDATED;
      validationSuccessful = this.msgbase.put_msg_header(false, msgHdr.number,
                                                         msgHdr);
    }
    else
      validationSuccessful = true;
  }

  return validationSuccessful;
}
