Hi Paul/Kieran.  Since you're basing the Tobruk code on Squish, you might
want to use the same ^aVia line generation method as it, or have an option
to switch between the two. (?)


While I'm here... I'm feeling generous today so here are some of my Msgedsq
3.20 mods.  Released to the public domain.

/* the MSGID-generation method I use */

char           *unique_msgid(void)
{
    static long     starter;
    static char     serialno[10];

    if(starter == 0)
        starter = (long) time(NULL) << 8;
    sprintf(serialno, "%08lx", starter++);
    return serialno;
}


/* 
   add ^aFLAGS PVT to private echomail messages; useful to check whether
   folks' mail processors are doing the right thing in honouring the
   private attr
*/

if (CurArea.echomail && m->attrib.private)
{
   strcpy(text, "\01FLAGS PVT\r");
   curr = InsertAfter(curr, text);
}


/* add ^aVia line to end of a netmail message */

if (CurArea.netmail)
{
   time_t td;
   char time_str[80];

   tzset();
   td = time(NULL);
   strftime(time_str, 80, "%a %b %d %Y at %H:%M UTC", gmtime(&td));
   sprintf(text, "\01Via %s %s %s, %s\r", PROG, VERSION CLOSED,
show_address(&from), time_str);
   curr = InsertAfter(curr, text);
}
