Hey August!

Here is an official test of duplicate MSGID serial numbers from two different addresses to see if it shows up as a false dupe.  Note that I am using the 8 character serial number which is restricted to [a-z][A-Z][0-9] aka [:alnum:] regex.  So far it appears to be working as I've already seen it converted to a REPLY kludge in MSGs from a number of different sources so now all that needs to be confirmed is the dupe checking.

For the record I still believe the 32-bit hex unixtime to be the better option given that it actually represents something useful beyond just dupe checking.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
