Will take some time tomorrow night when I am more awake to review all posts and feedback and then respond... thanks to everyone who has been testing. It's a pain not to be able to repro what happened to Brian :(
I wonder what it is/was ... QWK vs QWKE ... replies vs original posts,
the way the poster held his tongue when he posted ?? :)
Best, Paul

A thanks from me to all the "Alpha Testers"! :-) I was reading through all
testing results, but it's a bit difficult to collate everything in the time I have available to me. The one scenario that it does not seem people tested (pardon me if this is untrue) is multiple messages, most of them replies to existing messages, in a QWK REP packet. This is what most often does not work for me, and it would make a massive difference if it did work reliably.

I don't know, I'm of the mind that if gOOrOO didn't specifically say he worked
on the issue, then I doubt it has fixed itself. The issue was it sometim
es
works and sometimes doesn't, though it pretty consistently doesn't when
it
comes to Necromaster's retronet/bbs add.
Without knowing if gOOrOO has even done anything worries me that all thi
s
testing is really muddying the waters in that it's possible we're just f luking
all these successes to the point where general consensus is it's no long
er an
issue.. until it becomes an issue again.
If gOOrOO has fixed it, then that's great, but afaik there has been no w ord as
to whether it was even looked at.

last time I used something like that was in 1994/5 and it was Bluewave
but I do not have a copy of BW that I think is Y2k etc. friendly and
works for windows 7

The only info I have is what has been added by g00r00 in the
whatsnew.txt and the fact he had mentioned to me he had worked on those things. I had passed the info about the duplicate message ID issue back
to him but I too am unsure if it's been fixed or not with respect to QWK/QWKE
I need to set up some kind of offline reader that works for me to test things myself. It's not something I have done/used in a long time. The last time I used something like that was in 1994/5 and it was Bluewave

I suspect he fixed it by fixing the 64k packet problem. I'm thinking
they were related. It showed up on QWKE first because QWKE packets
would be bigger with the extra kludge lines not in QWK. Necromaster has A31 not A32 as far as I know so it would fail A27-A31 all had the
problems, it may have started before A27 when MSGID was first added.
The mutil multiple post MSGID problem still exists, so that's hopefully the next little bug to squish.
I did do one test on this end, and posted three text files to an echo. Each had their own MSGID! :)
Dan, try running 8 posts of the same thing into the same echoarea.. I am seeing some dupe IDs starting to appear. Still testing. :)
I was just looking at the MSGIDs and see that they start to dupe at the third of fourth... Maybe I'll hold off of condensing my .INI files. I'll run a couple tests here and confirm what you've been seeing.

Yes I think something is still amiss. I am seeing duplicate patterns emerge if multiple posts exceeding 2-3 posts occur. I have been running tests using 8 posts to the same base using the same text and find while there is some variation in results there are harmonics of the same ID often is messages 2,4,6,8 and the same kind of thing (at times) for 3,5,7
We're both testing windows 32bit (right?) .. I wonder if it's the same
for all OS versions? I'd say that's likely the case. I'll try an update
my Pi and have a crack at it later on.
I haven't seen any patterns in the two test runs that I did. In my first run, the dupes were 3 and 5, and the second run was 4 and 6...
I'm actually running the 64bit version on windoze here. I'll upgrade the Ubuntu system tonight and see what happens there.

Good stuff, I am testing on the Pi and I think there may be NO issues..
so it could be Windows related.. not sure yet.

Ok, finally got the Linux system upgraded to A32. I ran the same test
that we were for the Windoze systems. Sent 8 text files to same message base via MUTIL at once.
Of the 8 messages, there were only 4 unique MSGIDs assigned to them...
What was interesting, is when they were sent to Mystic on the Windoze side, 7 of them were dumped into the Dupe message base. That was
something that didn't always happen when we were testing in fsxNet.
I'll set the Linux system up as a point in fsxNet, and try a test in there. I'm curious if the dupes will make it out of the Windoze system...

There was a problem in that alpha, and I have found and (hopefully)
fixed it by replacing the MSGID system in all parts of Mystic in A33.
I'll try to get a release out there soon for everyone.
