 ML> Next I need to ask about the @MSGID line itself. (I am still digging to
 ML> find the FidoNet technical spec that covers it.) I was told *years* back

It's the subject of FTS-009; I don't know if any subsequent docs mention it or propose any extensions.

http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0009.001

 ML> that the only thing that was supposed to be in that line were the
 ML> originating Node number and the hex date/time code - nothing else. Perhaps

The serial number must be hex but need not be a representation of date/time.

 ML> the person telling me this (long deceased) may have misinterpreted
 ML> something... So let me ask you; what's the spec for that line? 

Please see here for a detailed write-up that DM did on this some time ago:
