Hi,

the settings for incremental downloading after a given date do not currently apply, when downloading messages/paid messages, it seems!? (scraping and (logically following) downloading should stop, when it has reached older messages than the date given in the config, IMHO!?)

It's not supported by the OF API for messages, only posts. That is why https://docs.ofdl.tools/config/all-configuration-options/#downloadonlyspecificdates specifically mentions posts.

Hmm, but OF-DL does get the message timestamps when downloading them, and at least for "after" "specific date" cases, the program could stop, when the last message downloaded is older than that date stamp? 🙊 (since it does start with the newest message...) (just thinking about this, from a code/computer science point of view...)
