Good catch. I looked at  the MSGID and REPLY, but I didn't thought about counting the hex chars. The REPLY is indeed missing the last char from the original MSGID. I guess it's impossible to fix that 28 year old Atari BBS / Fido software. Maybe Ratsoft 2.1c (1/9/96) has a fix?

The buggy one says:
                       === RATSoft / ST ===
        by Steve Hughey, (c)1991-1995 R0dent Labs Software
                version 2.1c [10/21/95 - 12:16pm]

I'll ask the sysop, if he is aware of the bug ...
