 * I assume that the date triggers the daily and weekly update emails of posts.
 * So if a date is changed on an old post to a current date would that slot it into
   the daily and weekly updates please.
 * The Mailpoet literature doesn’t seem to talk about this scenario.
 * Thank-you.

 * Hi there [@gibmessenger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gibmessenger/),
 * By default, changing the date on an old post to a current date would not cause
   it to be resent in a post notification email. There’s more information about 
   this in our doc here:
    [https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/347-create-a-post-notification-email](https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/347-create-a-post-notification-email)

   > Updating a post doesn’t trigger the Post Notification. If you want to re-send
   > an already published post, you’ll need to publish it as a new post.
 * If you wanted to send an old post in a Post Notification email, you would need
   to copy the content to a new post and publish it. Alternatively, you could clone
   the post and then publish the clone — I believe the [Yoast Duplicate Post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/)
   plugin adds a “Clone” option.
