Hi Scott.
JB>> the easiest way to ge unique numbers is to use each number once.
JB>> the easiest way to do that is just to use them in order.
SL> Which means using a single source.
yeah, that's the only way that i can see of doing FTS-19 in a bulletproof
manner.
or you coulsd make a list of all the used ones and check each one hasn't
been used in the last three years :)
JB>> @MSGIDUNIQUE
SL> Good idea, but rofl!
SL> Fidonet. The amateur Microsoft.
SL> Are you sure this unique ID is really unique? [Y/n] _
yeah... you get that.
JB>> or maybe it could go in the address part of the msgid, not sure
JB>> how really.
SL> Was it decided that three fields in MSGID would break things?
it looks that way from reading fts-19
It says the serial number comes before the end of line so some progs may
juse uset the last 8 hexdigits on the line while others may use the first 8
after the address part and the space....
