Depends on how many messages you send out with those. Hardly the end
of civilisation as we know it if you sent a total of 5 with one you
cant remember, when you consider the microscopic risk of them actually
accidentally reusing an MSGID in a single echo which is low volume and
which people keep for 3 years. Getting more than a tad anal to worry about.

PE> the 150-line limit causes REAL problems but only fixes IMAGINARY problems.

RS> Tell that to those using mail readers with 150 line limits.

PE> Like who?

Real some echoes, look for SLMR or OLX brag lines. Realise that there
are lots more who have those turned off or who just read, dont write much.

PE> When was the last time you saw one of them complain about

Few people are silly enough to post stuff over 150 lines.
Doesnt prove a lot. But it was only a couple of weeks ago.

I basically couldnt give a shit what you rely to. Particularly
when its as full of pathetically silly stuff like this one was |-)
