      TZUTC: -0500       PID: JamNNTPd/Win32 1.2.3       REPLYADDR ozznixon@gmail.com       MSGID: 1:275/362.0 5c9bd5be       I am reading through different code for *.msg folders. One piece is using Word       (uint16) as the maxima is 65535, another using Integer (int16) with the maxima       of 32,767 - however, since a 8.3 file system could technically handle       99,999,999 files.              Also, I have seen some tossers using a minima of 2.msg and 1.msg used for       high-water tracking. Another appears that 1.msg is the minima and uses a QBBS       style LASTREAD.BBS for it's high-water tracker.              Is this documented anywhere? Or is it just "Author's Discretion"?              Ozz              --        .. Ozz Nixon       ... Author ExchangeBBS (suite)       ....
