Hi Maurice,

On 2021-04-14 12:17:02, you wrote to me:

It doesn't conform to the standard.

It doesn't conform to the standard either...

I suggest you don't waist your time on fighting to get the existing standard
changed. It's wasted energy.

If you want a better unique identifier in ftn messages, create a new kludge
(see my suggestion for the @UUID one, which needs a @RUID btw for replies), so
you can do what you want, and make it as good as possible without having to
consider existing software. Then write a proposal and convince software
developers to implement it in their software.


Bye, Wilfred.
