Now I have several samples, so it's easy to see that the message ID I
originally got wasn't generated by TB unless the ID generation scheme
was changed between versions, for instance in your message:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

We can see that the message-ID contains the date in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS form
before the domain (local time, not adjusted), so the only mystery is if
the first part of the string is significant in any way other than a
random number.  So, is there anyone on the list who can answer how TB
generates its message-ids, or is there a better place/person to ask the
question of?

Thanks,

Paul
