Hey Michael!

I'll have to speak for Paul as he has dropped out of Fido.

 MJR> Well, IMHO, a *UNIQUE* Message ID is important,

So, given the above quoted MSGID from your message here, you appear to have
what you want despite not following the FTN standard for the MSGID.  Suppose
that there are Fido sysops out there running software, regardless of OS, that
look at that MSGID as corrupted and refuse to toss it.  Who would be at fault
if your messages don't get distributed across the network as a whole?  Also,
what is the difference between 05e14b15 and 05E14B15 (besides the obvious
humanly readable difference)?

That is why he dropped out of Fido.  He can already get those fine without Fido
and the only reason he joined in the first place was he thought Fido wasn't
gated (ie a private network).  So much for that arguement.

Bonus!  I say strip all those kludges and make it impossible or at least force
Windows "sysops" (<- snicker) to deal with it themselves, and when caught
gating they should be forceably removed from Fido.

Nah!  We got Linux.  We can network just fine.

Life is good,
Maurice
