      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A49       MSGID: 1:129/215 b31948a2       TZUTC: -0400        CA> I was wondering if Mystic applies the TID to tossed nessages?         CA> What kludges do Mystic create natively?              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.              ... Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/03/14 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/616 123/10 120       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/215 305 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 218/700       SEEN-BY: 218/840 220/70 90 221/6 226/17 18 30 70 100 227/114 201 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 206 275 307 310 317 400 424 426 428 452 470       SEEN-BY: 229/550 664 700 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 298/25 301/1 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/105 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
