No, the messages are all bounced by NetMgr for a non-nodelisted address. TimEd
has noting to do with it.  Again, let me emphasize, NO OTHER system other than
Synchronet's mail system has any kind of problem whatsoever.  I have a
feeling, but this may be off in left field since I'm not a programmer, that
NetMail, unlike EchoMail which is unaffected by these anomalous @MSGID lines,
has some restriction, perhaps like line length or permitted characters that
gets fouled by the addition of the xxxx@1:999/9999 (example only) to the
@MSGID line.  Would that I were a programmer and/or knew the specific
differences between NetMail and EchoMail @MSGID line requirements, but I
don't. 

To answer your questions about the storage format for NetMail, it is in .MSG
format - that's the one and only area that doesn't store in Squish format.

I REALLY don't think that Squish is at fault. NEVER had this kind of problem
until they (Synchronet) stated adding those extraneous characters to that
line. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I've written to the author of
Synchronet, but he's adamant that Squish is wrong and his program isn't.
Rubbish.

Best regards,
Marc
