For sure!  The MSGID isn't needed for one's own stuff or at least not anything 
I need.  I tend to be fussy about archives here and don't save much in the way 
of messages, nevermind Fido.  As far as programs go I tend to lean towards 
archiving the configurations and the such and just use the basic GNU/Linux 
stuff.  Even those I tend to play with so there is very little that requires 
backing up, and that I tend to be religious about ... most of the time.  In 
fact I just finished backing up the entire /etc on one machine a few minutes 
ago.  A bit of overkill but that made it easier and it isn't all that big.

The MSGID was still there but effectively disabled and a new one applied.  Same 
with the rest, although it was "hidden".  All that was accomplished was to 
effectively add bloat wrt true Fido systems, the idea being that the news 
server would use the new tags to spread the word.  That way when it returned to 
Fido systems the old tags SHOULD have kicked back in.  However we all got what 
was destined for the news server and all the checks and balances were disabled.

Fairly easy to figure out what went wrong there.

Life is good,
Maurice
