my system works just fine in that area...

i cannot say why that may or may not have been without facts and logs...

you cannot put those character sets issues in the same bucket as dupe detection
and elimination... they have nothing to do with each other...

thanks but nope... i'm quite happy with my current setup... it is one of the
main ones that set the standards years ago and i do not plan on changing it at
all... while i might wish for a larger dupe database capability or even a
per-message-area dupe database, i'm quite satisfied with the current
operation...

FWIW: if you are talking about that dump that came /thru/ my system from a
downlink of mine, there was additional processing in place on my system that
contributed to those messages making it as far as they did... that additional
processing had nothing to do with the tosser on my system, either... besides,
it is highly doubtful that any system will catch a dupe dump of posts 2 or 3+
years old... especially since the MSGID specification restricts them from
repeating for 3 years... but that also only applies to those messages that
support MSGID...
