Maurice wanted to "_eliminate_ the MSGID as well as it's evil, demented twin
the REPLY". But I noticed he already found out for himself that's not a good
idea...

I have no problem with a seperate extra kludge line for the uuid. Software that
supports it could use it for a better way of dupe detection.

 ml> hell, even his time stamp thing could be done...

It's almost like a 'Via' kludge line in echomail. ;)


Bye, Wilfred.
