Who asked you to redesign anything? If you reall wnat to "hang it up" and are
just looking for an excuse, I guess you found one. But you enjoy solving
problems, you found one of those too.

It doesn't sound like you've read the relevant FTN specs or my write-up about
this the FTN-MSGID topic, but just so you're aware: Synchronet was not the
first software to generate FTN MSGIDs which don't conform to what you (and
apparently Squish) think should be the norm. Here are some examples:
X-FTN-MSGID       33bc160d
X-FTN-MSGID       6f22dbc9
X-FTN-MSGID       86afd87b
X-FTN-MSGID       0001327e
X-FTN-MSGID       20c0db2e
X-FTN-MSGID       2ceda87e
X-FTN-MSGID       1a31d5a1
X-FTN-MSGID       1f885ab1
X-FTN-MSGID      <20060904114516.19f25d93d7f80a223b6e85f47e965fd
.90b642a290.wbe@email.secureserver.net> 5daee08b

I could dig up tons of other examples, none of which were generated by
Synchronet or SBBSecho.
