Funny, could have SWORN that YOU proclaimed that it should be used.

Soorree robust and reliable software is about not just silently
deleting everything that you proclaim to be 'out of spec'.
That particular one wasnt even out of spec, YOUR spec.

And even the MSGID isnt even a spec in the sense of an FTS ANYWAY.

And presumably even you have noticed that not all mail
tossers used on Fido just silently bin packets which
even have Origin lines which arent immaculately within spec.

Which is quite handy because otherwise they would have just silently
binned the output of YOUR tosser when it flouted an FTS itself.

PE> why don't you either use proper point software (ie not QWK readers who
PE> don't know to strip kludge lines) or use inspecta on the raw packets.

Soorree, not into fascism. I'm into reliable mail.
