Archive thrown off by modification date

[Steele]

We are running Exchange 2003, and Outlook 2003 in cached mode. We are trying
to impose storage limits on the user mailboxes, and encourage the users to
use AutoArchive within Outlook to help keep their mailboxes clean. Some
users have noticed that certain messages are not archiving as expected. In
looking into this, we've discovered that many e-mail messages have a recent
"Modified" date, and so they are not archived. For example, several messages
from a month or two ago, have a modified date of yesterday. Many of these
messages are modified at the exact same date and time. These messages have
not been flagged, opened, forwarded, or moved since they had been received.

Is there a way to find out what is modifying these messages?

We just recently migrated from Domino/Lotus Notes to
Exchange2003/Outlook2003. All of our e-mail have a modified date of the day
we migrated the messages, which, it would seem, is affecting the archiving
function. Is there anyway to force the archiving to ignore the modified
date and archive according the the received date?
