   That's a broken MSGID implementation, because it could be possible your system   
   generates 2 (or more) messages in the same second (maybe automated ones). In   
   that case there would be 2 (or more) different messages with the same MSGID...

   Illegal characters without a CHRS: kludge!   
      
   (And yes I know mine isn't correct ;-))   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
