Hi Nicholas,

   I just found: http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0057.003   
      
   It's a proposal for an AreaFix standard (although that word isn't used in   
   there, so I couldn't find it at first).   
   The RESCANNED kludge is mentioned in there. FMail doesn't follow it exactly   
   anymore though, because the kludge now has the same format as the VIA kludge   
   in netmail. Also showing the date/time stamp when the message was rescanned.   
   Which I think is valuable information if you encounter a RESCANNED kludge   
   later on...

   Ross seems to be quiet lately. I don't know if that is because he's constantly   
   biting his lips, or if he has found other interests? ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
