   I'll write up a FAQ about the stupid FTN MSG-ID standard and why Synchronet and   
   SBBSecho generate unique FTN message IDs the way it does.   
      
   Now there was a recent "bug" that was brought to my attention and fixed whereby   
   SBBSecho was stripping trailing whitespace from imported kludge lines   
   (including MSG-ID and REPLY control lines) and that caused a problem for some   
   software when being exported back out to the net (a MSG-ID with a trailing   
   space was considered *different* than another message with the same MSG-ID   
   without a trailing space). Anway, that was "fixed" recently and really has   
   nothing to do with the message-IDs generated by Synchronet/SBBSecho.

   Competition is good but when the competitors just up and die on ya, what more   
   can you do? :-)
