As a Fido developer, I'm suggesting that you please do not waste your time or
or talent in trying to implement any MSGID/REPLY/TID nonsense in your BBS.

There is absolutely nothing technically wrong with leaving those three out, in
that your message WILL in fact be delivered, and forwarded to MANY systems. I
assure you, no "normal" Sysop cares at all about them nor will you receive
any complaints. Instead, the only complaints about kludges you will receive
will come from Euro trash pacifist effeminate keyboard-warriors with no life,
no job, no spouse... and no penis.

Their petulant asinine whinings have on more than one occasion driven away
returning Sysops with their favourite legacy PC-Board, Searchlight, TBBS and
others because of those silly missing kludges. The Sysop who just wants a bit 
of nostalgia is instead faced with weirdos in rainbow suspenders.
