   So then Squish is likely handling the NetMail messages correctly (?). You   
   could send one of the NetMail messages (.msg files) my way for a look-see or   
   use a tool, such as fmsgdump.exe to dump the message header and kludge/control   
   lines and paste those here. But I suspect there's no incompatibility with   
   Squish involved here.

   Or just get rid of NetMgr as it appears to be the program that is trying to   
   parse the MSGID's. (?).

   Then the MSGID would be 3 fields, separated by spaces. I tried that once and   
   got a lot of flack on FidoNet about it and indeed: the spec is 2   
   space-separated fields with the second/last field being 8 hexadecimal digits.   
   That's it. So I complied.
