I'll write up a FAQ about the stupid FTN MSG-ID standard and why Synchronet and
SBBSecho generate unique FTN message IDs the way it does.
Now there was a recent "bug" that was brought to my attention and fixed whereby
SBBSecho was stripping trailing whitespace from imported kludge lines
(including MSG-ID and REPLY control lines) and that caused a problem for some
software when being exported back out to the net (a MSG-ID with a trailing
space was considered *different* than another message with the same MSG-ID
without a trailing space). Anway, that was "fixed" recently and really has
nothing to do with the message-IDs generated by Synchronet/SBBSecho.

Competition is good but when the competitors just up and die on ya, what more
can you do? :-)
