   the problem is here... specifically, %08lx does not set the maximum length...   
   only the minimum...   
      
       fprintf(MailFILE, "\x01MSGID: %d:%d/%d %08lx\r\n", MyAddress[A_ZONE],   
               MyAddress[A_NET], MyAddress[A_NODE], GetSequence());   
      
   something like this should work but i'm not a C coder and haven't tried to   
   actually compile something to test this with...   
      
       char* serialnum = printf("%08lx", GetSequence());   
       if (strlen(serialnum) > 8)   
       {   
         serialnum = serialnum + strlen(serialnum) - 8;   
       }   
       fprintf(MailFILE, "\x01MSGID: %d:%d/%d %s\r\n", MyAddress[A_ZONE],   
               MyAddress[A_NET], MyAddress[A_NODE], serialnum);

   Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would   
   set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
