   Is that true? Synchronet/SBBSecho uses 2 methods of dupe messge detection:   
      
   1. Message-ID (in the case of FTN, that's everything between "\1MSGID: " and   
      the CR) - the Message-ID doesn't change when messages a re-scanned   
   2. Message body text (not including kludge/control lines, paths/seen-bys,   
      and tear/tag/origin lines)   
      
   Rescanned messages would (should) be caught as dupes just fine.
