DM> The SMB index records only contains numbers. For the mail base, the 'to'
DM> and 'from' fields of an index record contain the destination and source
DM> user numbers, when relevant (0 when the source or destination is a network
DM> entity).

DM> For sub-boards, the index record to and from fields contain a hash of the
DM> 'to' and 'from' user name or alias. The hash is a CRC-16 of the string's
DM> lowercase value.

DM> The subject field of SMB index records always contains a hash (again,
DM> CRC-16) of the lowercase version of the message subject - for simple
DM> threading purposes, for both mail bases and sub-boards.

DM> More details can be found here, if you're interested:
DM> http://synchro.net/docs/smb.html

I see, thanks.
