I don't think I mentioned message IDs... along with that, neither the IMAP server, or POP3 server use the Message-ID as a key. - -- Jon Angliss <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHfFz9K4PoFPj9H3MRAv5QAKCh8ejEgsUKeAzB+CwK4x8lhoqaBACffI0j 8P0tEt1OYec8X06cLIulEyU= =0MP1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
