   It doesn't conform to the standard either...   
      
    MK> However I do plan to change that and then for sure the unixtime based

   I suggest you don't waist your time on fighting to get the existing standard   
   changed. It's wasted energy.   
      
   If you want a better unique identifier in ftn messages, create a new kludge   
   (see my suggestion for the @UUID one, which needs a @RUID btw for replies), so   
   you can do what you want, and make it as good as possible without having to   
   consider existing software. Then write a proposal and convince software   
   developers to implement it in their software.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
