Handling the exceptions, is not always the preferred way. If you catch that exception then no one, will know that a BBS is "injecting" wrong or even corrupted data packets into the feed/echomail, perhaps multiple BBSes. If this continues for some time and more and more BBSes don't report correctly, then the mod would be useless.

Another solution, would be to create a log, but i don't think that many people would look into that. :)

It's preferred to check the FSX_DAT or any other echonet area that handles the data packets (for FSX, is FSX_DAT) for corrupted messages or a wrong set up BBSes and report to the BBS sysop or a FSX admin.

To bypass the problem, just delete the FSX_DAT.* files, which will erase all messages, along with the corrupted ones ;) The echonet, will be re-created when it receives new messages.
