 Ol> Right, Msytic should expect modified mails from braindead tossers like hpt and of course every other tosser also should have code that works around husky's fucked-up implementation of a message API. hpt is doing it like this for decades, so every

Yeah, I agree - tossers should not modify messages.

And I understand the hpt time issue - But I didnt think that it should be a problem. I know I've read (maybe from you) about it affecting rescans and de-dupe detection - but as I said earlier, I didnt think the message date/time had anything to do with the "minimum" of de-dupe detection, which is based on MSGID. Its probably reasonable that additional checks are done that involve the date/time - and in this case its ineffective with hpt in the path.

Happy for somebody to educate me further, if I'm wrong about the "minimum".

I know SBBS does additional checks - I think one being a CRC on the body (content), so it doesnt matter if the header changes (including the MSGID), the same content will still be caught (which I kinda like).

I've seen some discussion about fixing the time odd/even interval - do you know if that has made it upstream, and if so, I'll update.
