Re: dupe messages again?

How does that work? They come from TLP but I'm not doing it :P Or is this the same thing we saw last time, where the round robin of hubs sometimes get the same message from two different directions and think both are new messages?
Yeah.
When your message leaves you, its has soft-CRs (0x8d) in it, which the hub forwards on as is.
When it forwards it directly to my BBS, the soft-CRs are intact.
When it forwards it to a mystic BBS, it removes those soft-CRs and forwards the
message on.
When I get it from my hub, I get a new version of your message that doesnt have
soft-CRs there - so it looks like a new message.
Its the same problem that happened last year(?) when 2 of the hubs switched over to Husky - which I guess also doesnt strip the soft-CRs.
