I am not a Mystic sysop so perhaps am not the right person for the question, but I will chime in to say I have observed the phenomenon (goddamn that's a difficult word to spell) as well - for sure on 2oFB but I can't recall if I may have had it happen elsewhere or not.

I have gotten the impression sometimes that if another user logs onto the BBS while I am writing a message, after the message pops up notifying that someone logged in, the To: field of the message has changed.  But when the message is saved, it does get saved with the original, correct, name in the To: field.  So I wonder if the notifications might be triggering some corruption.
