Hello, Kai!

Friday January 20 2023 01:31, from Kai Richter -> Nil Alexandrov, in URL @OFGHIUrl:

 RS>>> GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20220504

 NA>> would be to set up two areas, one with the legacy .msg directory
 NA>> and the other with a brand new JAM database. Then using the
 NA>> GoldEd you can select all messages, copy and paste them into the
 NA>> target area and voila (miss some accent here) your have got it!

 KR> Does that updates the dupes database too?

Nope. The dupe database belongs to your tosser and not reader. Tosser will use different algorithms to eliminate dupes. It will definitely use the seen-by lines as defined in the FTS-0004. The more advanced algorithm can be to use some sort of the dupe base. Husky supports 4 types of dupeBaseType  and none of them is in the standard.

Back to your question, I have not heard that a reader (like GoldED) would use a dupe base. Reader application will list and fetch available messages from your databases but the decision on storing a message in the base or reject as a dupe has been already made by a tosser.

Best Regards, Nil
