      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: UTF-8 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20161221       MSGID: 2:280/464 5ca5c283       REPLY: 1:153/7001 5ca4e05f       Hi Maurice,              On 2019-04-03 16:33:35, you wrote to me:               WvV>> For instance if someone wants to send a reply by netmail which of        WvV>> the two should be used?               MK> netmail is totally different but offhand I think you are probably right        MK> about the confusion software may or may not have about this issue.        MK> However, if the purpose of the MSGID is to facillitate dupechecking, and        MK> nothing else, then I would think any node that uses point addressing to        MK> avoid false dupes on a multiuser system would be a good thing even when       the        MK> pont address is not included in the Origin and perhaps shouldn't be. But        MK> that is just echomail and netmail has it's own checks and balances as far        MK> as addressing is concerned. No?              When I reply by netmail to that message with the point number, GoldEd       automatically uses the point address as the destination. So since the header       of a packed message doesn't have room for the point number part of the FTN       address, it seems the address from the MSGID is used for this. So it doesn't       seem like a good idea to add a random point number to the MSGID, unless it       really exists in the nodes system configuration, or it is ignored by the       systems software...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 18/200 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 633/280 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
