   I would have thought that the upload door would have been checking
   the header, including the date/time stamp, to sense for a duplicate.
   If not -- then why wouldn't it call a message a dupe which is really
   a reply with the same header info (i.e. a continuation in the
   thread)?

   Do an explicit experiment.  Compose a reply to me, subject of dupe
   test.  Upload it.   Then open up the REP packet and look at the
   message (date/time will look wrong, 1 Jan 1970 or some such -- but
   nevermind).   Close the REP packet and attempt to upload the message
   again.   Then for one more test, open the REP package and edit the
   message -- then attempt to upload.

   Let me know after the three uploads what happened.  I'm curious.
