 WV>  Subj : Daily Areas Summary

 WV> SEEN+BY: 218/840 220/70 226/17 267/800 280/464 712/848 770/1 100 330

 WV> And these when received through 3:712/848 as dupe:

 WV> SEEN+BY: 229/426 280/464 301/1 633/267 712/620 848 770/1 100 330 340
 WV> 772/220 SEEN+BY: 772/230

 WV> Notice that all the Z1 downlinks of 3:770/1 (218/840 220/70 226/17

 WV> 3:770/1 Seems to be using hpt/lnx 1.9 2022-07-03

It is more important to know whether 3:712/848 uses hpt.

 WV> I've also confirmed the same thing happening on another system using
 WV> hpt/lnx 1.9 2023-02-24.

I cannot promise I'll be able to address this issue any time soon, but to do it I must have the hpt configuration from 3:712/848 and two messages: the message he receives from 3:770/1 and the message he sends to you. My email address is in the tagline.
