   Hey Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> For instance if someone wants to send a reply by netmail which of   
    WvV> the two should be used?   
      
   netmail is totally different but offhand I think you are probably right about   
   the confusion software may or may not have about this issue.  However, if the   
   purpose of the MSGID is to facillitate dupechecking, and nothing else, then I   
   would think any node that uses point addressing to avoid false dupes on a   
   multiuser system would be a good thing even when the pont address is not   
   included in the Origin and perhaps shouldn't be.  But that is just echomail   
   and netmail has it's own checks and balances as far as addressing is   
   concerned.  No?

   Seems to me somebody had a fix for the CHRS kludge years ago not too long   
   after fts-5003 reared it's ugly head.   
      
    WvV> systems anyway that need the CHRS kludge for this.   
      
   I seriously doubt there ever will be a need, especially for UTF-8.  So far for   
   translating characters to/from 8 bit character sets, glibc's iconv works   
   great.  So far the CHRS kludge does nothing to facilitate that need and that   
   is a good thing.  :::patent pending:::   
      
   Life is good,
