Yes, Mystic's tosser adds TID.

Generally speaking you want to add TID, update PATH and SEEN-BY lines as
needed (and you'll want to scan them for a circular path to prevent
duplication loops).  If your software is codepage-aware you should add CHRS. 
If its a netmail message you'll need to add INTL, and TOPT FMPT for point
systems.

Your software should generate MSGIDs that are unique for each message and
there should not be collisons.  I'd recommend you test this thoroughly to make
sure collisons are not happening when messages are posted twice on the same
node, etc.  Do not generate them randomly like some old softwares do.  If the
message is a reply, then you need REPLYID that references the original
message. This is very important for message threading.

Trying to think what I am missing but make sure all those are there.

You should also calculate some type of checksum for each message that comes
into your system and store it in a database so you can check those messages
again as duplicates.
