The reason I ask, was a message came in on another FTN type network, and my tosser processed but reported a message with no MSGID. Of course, nothing says it has to be there, but, there are a few FTSC documents which mention how to use it for dupe checking and reply chaining. Which would break as soon as two different topics come in with the same blank msgid, and thus blank reply.
