   Howdy,   
      
   For me it looks like three things:   
      
   * Your BBS didnt consider it a dupe   
      
   * 229/426 didnt consider it a dupe - since it sent it to you twice.   
      
   * Somebody after 261/38 modified the message - possibly 301/1, 320/219 or   
   240/5832, since it looks like 261/38 sent it 2 ways, that end up at 229/426.   
   So either 301/1 removed the bottom 2 lines, or one of 320/219, 240/5832 added   
   them.   
      
   This could go 2 ways, depending if the authors of the software involved think   
   they are doing the "right thing" or not.   
      
   1) A consistent method to identify a duplicate - which there is an FTS   
   document that can help here,   
   2) "Thou should not modify message content" - dont recall if that is an FTS   
   document somewhere   
      
   Fortunately for you, there is some software that handles this situation well,   
   so even if something upsream is not doing what is expected you can mitigate it   
   yourself.   
      
   Getting popcorn...
