It's in my PID kludge. ;)  (FMail)

In this case, no big deal. There were no real technical issues, only confused
people. ;)

 PH> Do we get many packets with those kinds of problems in them?

Not like this. But sometimes a /rescan goes wrong, and we get a couple of
thousand old messages in some areas, which are not picked up by the dupe
detection routines on most systems. Than it's nice when these are caught before
tossing and exporting...

That happend a couple of times in the past years, which made me implement the
old mail detection in FMail, and has since caught a couple of those events.


Bye, Wilfred.
