That's not what I see here.

All messages from 9531 to 18623 are not obsucated.

Also note that message 9531+N seems to be the same as message N, except that
it's not obfuscated. This explains why the archive suddenly claims to have
over 18000 messages while it was around 9000 not that long ago.

I don't think the messages have anything special. I would rather suspect the
reinstall of the host system some times ago. Does the date September 10 2004
means anything special to you as far as this system is concerned? This is when
the duplicates seem to have been generated.

The most simple thing to do now would probably be to delete all these duplicates.

Thanks.
