   Yes, Mystic's tosser adds TID.   
      
   Generally speaking you want to add TID, update PATH and SEEN-BY lines as   
   needed (and you'll want to scan them for a circular path to prevent   
   duplication loops).  If your software is codepage-aware you should add CHRS.    
   If its a netmail message you'll need to add INTL, and TOPT FMPT for point   
   systems.   
      
   Your software should generate MSGIDs that are unique for each message and   
   there should not be collisons.  I'd recommend you test this thoroughly to make   
   sure collisons are not happening when messages are posted twice on the same   
   node, etc.  Do not generate them randomly like some old softwares do.  If the   
   message is a reply, then you need REPLYID that references the original   
   message. This is very important for message threading.   
      
   Trying to think what I am missing but make sure all those are there.   
      
   You should also calculate some type of checksum for each message that comes   
   into your system and store it in a database so you can check those messages   
   again as duplicates.
