Grammar
Will/would
"They told me that they will know more when they read my application."
"They told me that they would know more when then read my application."
I'm aware of the rule which tells us to go back in time if we refer to something that someone told us but 'would' sounds a bit strange to my ear in this case.
Which one should I use?
Thank you.
