Hello Maurice,

 MK> Check ASIAN_LINK.  I see both the original in ASIAN_LINK and the

 MK> Also confirm that the MSGID is EXACTLY the same in both.

Yes, I see that message in ASIAN_LINK also and it looks the same. The same
date, time, content and MSGID.

That's what it seems at least here and 280/464.

I would use a unique MSGID even when cross posting. They seem to get tossed OK
here and 280/464 but you never know what could happen along the way. There
might be a tosser in the wild that will see an identical message with an
identical MSGID that will toss it aside.

 Ttyl :-),
