      REPLY: 2:240/77 5fc9150d       MSGID: 1:153/7001 5fc95d6c       Hey Kai!               KR> Maybe i didn't noticed the background of your question.              It was not a question on my part so you didn't really miss anything. However       your answer has been most informative. Thank you.              For my part I am attempting to make 1:153/7001 a potential wireless access       point for offline readers and am going to keep everything to a bare minimum.        So far it looks like only the MSGID is required to successfully transverse the       whole of fidonet. Thus a point-like setup between 1:153/7001 and any user on       the wireless should have the user's app generate it's own MSGID that will       ensure uniqueness no matter if another user on the wireless generates the       EXACT same serialno since the origaddr will ensure uniqueness due to the point       part of the origaddr. This isn't that far off from a numbered userbase on a       BBS where by default the sysop is listed as number 1. Thus whether universal       or AREA based any half-assed dupechecker should have no issues with the output.              For the record I am using the "^AMSGID: origaddr serialno" format as specified       in fts-0009.001.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
