   Hallo Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> But how are you going to find out if that happens in some corner   
    WvV> of fidonet.   
      
   I cannot.  The best I can do is to put the node back online which is served   
   'locally' or another point(s) in different parts of the world and then see   
   where they show up ... or not as the case might be.  When I did this in the   
   past a number of messages did go missing but it had nothing to do with MSGID's   
   ... except in one case where there was no MSGID and it didn't go missing but   
   created a bunch of actual dupes to be spit out of questionable setups.  That   
   is why I always put a MSGID in my messages.   
      
    WvV> You can hardley check every node in fidonet...   
      
   Nor am I planning to.  I am satisfied that if nothing else at least it found   
   it's way back to BC despite the wrong date(s) and a non-compliant MSGID that   
   actually contains very useful information beyond just being unique.
