Hello, Kai!

Sunday January 22 2023 13:29, from Kai Richter -> Rick Smith, in URL @OFGHIUrl:

That was actually my solution to the message base conversion problem. I setup a point system in the config and issued a rescan AreaFix request from that point address. Your tosser will read out the original message base format and will produce messages in .pkt format. Having a point system in this setup will not add extra seen-by/path fields, so the metadata (aka kludges) will stay the same with probably one exception for HPT which will add the rescanned kludge. Once you have your messages in .pkt format, you can toss them into any message base which your tosser supports and it will also update the dupe base accordingly.
