Who asked you to redesign anything? If you reall wnat to "hang it up" and are just looking for an excuse, I guess you found one. But you enjoy solving problems, you found one of those too.

It doesn't sound like you've read the relevant FTN specs or my write-up about this the FTN-MSGID topic, but just so you're aware: Synchronet was not the first software to generate FTN MSGIDs which don't conform to what you (and apparently Squish) think should be the norm. Here are some examples:
X-FTN-MSGID <

I could dig up tons of other examples, none of which were generated by
Synchronet or SBBSecho.
