My original ADIF upload of several thousand QSOs did not include the QSLMSG field. I have since added it to my log and would like to re-upload all of them to my eQSL outbox. Is this practical? What would be the best way to do it?

Tks, 73- Drew

You can do it if you use the background mode uploader. Background mode upload will overwrite existing data. Foreground mode will not allow you to upload that log, they would be flagged as duplicates and rejected.

Great! That makes it easy.

Now, if I do that will people once again receive the "New QSL card arrived for you..." email messages that they had previously received when I uploaded these contacts the first time?

No. The only time users receive email messages telling them about a new eQSL is if the eQSL was manually added, either using the manual log entry screen or by manually confirming.

email messages are not sent out for contacts uploaded via log file because it would bog the system down too much.
