Subj : Problem with legacy tosser (Squish) and Sync's MSGID

Hello Rob.

Of late, my old Squish tosser (OS/2) is having an insurmountable problem with NetMails containing data other than the Node number and the time/date code. Here is an example:

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Date : Thu Nov 12, 16:04     25                                    pvt rcv
From : Nigel Reed                                 7205:124/5016
To   : areafix                                    7205:396/45
Subj : xxxxxxxx
=============================================================================== =
TZUTC: -0600
MSGID: 7205@1:124/5016 24130381 

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

That apparent message number followed by the @ symbol in the MSGID line completely throws Squish for a loop as far as the Zone number is concerned.
Both the from and to address are Zone 1 addresses but for some reason Squish cannot fathom the xxxx@ in the MSGID line.

Is there anything that can be done to correct this? Maybe omitting the apparent message number or some kind of spacing? I am not any kind of programmer so I cannot give any suggestions. I can only say that it is ONLY messages coming from a Synchronet system that causes this problem and ONLY when it is NetMail.  Echomail is unaffected apparently.  

I am at a complete loss.  Your help will be very much appreciated!

Best regards,
Marc
