      MSGID: 1:153/7001 5ca4e05f       REPLY: 2:280/464 5ca4da1e       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?               WvV> I use a more or less default golded configuration regarding        WvV> charsets.              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,       Maurice              ...
