the problem is here... specifically, %08lx does not set the maximum length...
only the minimum...

    fprintf(MailFILE, "\x01MSGID: %d:%d/%d %08lx\r\n", MyAddress[A_ZONE],
            MyAddress[A_NET], MyAddress[A_NODE], GetSequence());

something like this should work but i'm not a C coder and haven't tried to
actually compile something to test this with...

    char* serialnum = printf("%08lx", GetSequence());
    if (strlen(serialnum) > 8)
    {
      serialnum = serialnum + strlen(serialnum) - 8;
    }
    fprintf(MailFILE, "\x01MSGID: %d:%d/%d %s\r\n", MyAddress[A_ZONE],
            MyAddress[A_NET], MyAddress[A_NODE], serialnum);

 them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
