[WoS] Enigma message unreadable

Hello fellow captains!
I received two encrypted messages in a row I was unable to decode. That's something I have done dozens of times, and I triple checked what I did on these, but the decoding means nothing...
This message, for instance:

Are you able to decode it? If so I might have done something wrong, but I really don't know what...

Did you uncheck the box to use the keyboard? Sometimes that will mess things up!

I usually check the box when I have everything set up, to type the message itself. But I will try without it just to be sure.

:) To be honest, as a french person, I usually go on a french speaking forum.

Well I tried with the box unchecked, using only my mouse, and I get the same result... :wah:

Did you set correct year by scrolling on year marker?

And did you set your enigma according to the date from the message, not the actual in game date and time?:hmmm:

Is it only this one message problematic? You don't have problems while decoding other enigma messages?

I just noticed something: I received the message on the 10th of August, but the message header says it was sent on the 20th of June, right? :o
That must be it!

That was it! With the correct date I was able to read the message! :woot:
Thanks for the hints :)

Yeah, always use the date of the message header

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:05 PM.
