No idea, but I am getting a dupe of/for each message you send, via a diffrent 
path.

My guess is that the message leaves your system fine, hits a system that 
"feeds" the second path, and it gets duped there, and then proceeds down the 
line to me, and MBSE BBS catches it as a dupe, which it is.

Doudt it, but ... someones system, somewhere, just don't like your "stripped 
down" format. :-((

 RT>>  not part of the decision making ...

 MK> It is here.

I move in a "bigger" world/circle, unfortunately. :-(
