This is how it arrives here (I checked the .pkt file it came in).

A MSGID is supposed to have the nodenumber in it in Fidonet.

The definition is:

MSGID

     A MSGID line consists of the string "^AMSGID:" (where ^A is a
     control-A (hex 01) and the double-quotes are not part of the
     string),  followed by a space,  the address of the originating
     system,  and a serial number unique to that message on the
     originating system,  i.e.:

          ^AMSGID: origaddr serialno

So Mike's system probably sets it that way when it leaves the system to his
links in fidonet.

Nope still the same.

Hmm, Mike doesn't seem very active on his system... That happens. :-(

Ok. ;)

Exactly the same here! ;)

Tell me about it! ;)

After the C=64. I switched to Amiga's and those were even more expensive,
but lot's of fun! ;)


Bye, Wilfred.
