You're correct, Allfix won't post to Synch

I don't keep a dupe area right now.

Well, as I said, in checking the messages that come into here, all v6 messages
do not have a kludge for MSGID.  v5 does. sbbsecho does pick up dupes in
ALLFIX_FILE.  The last one was from MBSE and it did have a MSGID.

Enjoy!!
