I am trying to find the reason why the hotdoged does not import some netmails from the sbbs boss, on these tests, I have noticed that the response of the areafix does not have mgsid and it seems that the hotdoged ignores them.

stage:

sbbs is a node (4:902/26) and has several points:

• 4:902/26.3 (openxp)
• 4:902/26.4 (golded)
• 4:902/26.10 (hotdoged)

example response received in openxp( ctrl+o show hidden kludgeds):

EMP: Fernando Toledo@4:902/26.3
ABS: SBBSecho@4:902/26
BET: List of Available Areas
ROT: 4:902/26!4:902/26

example response received in golded:

 GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5 │ Read All - Msg 56 of 57 (1 left) [HKTbQ]                                                                                                │ 11:09:51

From these clients (openxp and golded) the response messages from areafix (sbbsecho) arrive correctly, but not in hotdoged

Other netmails sent:

from 4:902/26 to hotdog point: works

from other points (4:902/26.XX) to hotdoged: also works

I know it seems to be a hotdoged issue But the question would be: is it possible to add the msgid to the areafix responses, to confirm if this way we can make hotdoged receive the messages?

Unfortunately the author of hotdged is not responding and we can't have any more debugging from the hotdoged side

If you can add this optional function to have this msgid generated, it can help as workaround for this client

Thanks you!
