I just found: http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0057.003

It's a proposal for an AreaFix standard (although that word isn't used in
there, so I couldn't find it at first).
The RESCANNED kludge is mentioned in there. FMail doesn't follow it exactly
anymore though, because the kludge now has the same format as the VIA
kludge in netmail. Also showing the date/time stamp when the message was
rescanned. Which I think is valuable information if you encounter a
RESCANNED kludge later on...

Ross seems to be quiet lately. I don't know if that is because he's
constantly biting his lips, or if he has found other interests? ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
