I don't think I am.               WvV> The MSGID generating side must try to prevent collisions.        WvV> The dupe detecting side can only respond to it by making        WvV> the detecting algorithm as robust as possible.              I pretty much see it that way too.              The idea behind generating the MSGID is to produce a string that        is unique.              The idea behind dupe detection is to identify with high        certainty another message that is exactly the same.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: Mobile?
