Isn't there a log file for every change in the databate to the
application? The date of the last change could be included
automatically.
Also aren't mails between AM, DAM, Advocate and NM archived somewhere?
Why not pull the timestamp of the last mail for that application from
there. It would only require a "CC: applicant@nm-archive" or something
in each mail which shouldn't be to hard on everyone.
