   Hello Anna Christina!   
      
   ** On Thursday 04.03.21 - 15:30, you wrote to me:

    ACN> That's right.   
      
    ACN> Although I'm a little confused :)   
      
   Before 5.0.49, whenever you would crash/direct a message     
   (bypassing your boss) the outgoing pkt would include the session     
   pwd you had established with the boss!   
      
   Like this:  https://susepaste.org/69048853   
      
   That means, each and every fido node you crashed a message to,     
   had the opportunity to see it.   
      
   The latest version, fixes that: https://susepaste.org/14013065
