      Hi,              On 2016-10-31 13:26:38, mark lewis wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:        about: "DUPES!":               WV>> Dupes have by definition the same dupe-checksum as the original, so        WV>> storing them is useless!               ml> maybe to you but to another developer who may be doing other things than        ml> /just/ dupes, it may be needed or desired... don't be so square that your        ml> mind is closed to other possibilities and thought processes... perhaps        ml> someone is keeping count of duplicate MSGIDs and needing also to store the        ml> CRC/hash for each of them...              If the CRC/hash is the same, because it's a dupe, you don't have to store it       again.              If you want to keep count of duplicate MSGID's you store those, or just a       count of them.

They weren't dupes according to hpt, so       the different crc/hash's were stored.              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32 1.73.1.23-B20161031        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
