probably I said 'more elaborate', so 'more complex' :)

One of such a BID/MID styles, different from MBL/RLI/FBB
style, could be the one used by obcm (see the header above),
or those used by other German software (i,e. DPBOX, DIEBOX)

Days ago, I forgot to say that since in some instances the
JNOS2 originate a MID/BID in 'small letters' (see some of
my previous sent messages), the next PBBS (FBB and others)
swapps/converts the 'small' in 'capital' letters, then it
happens if my message (with the MID/BID in capital letters)
is re-proposed to my JNOS2 by a forward partner it is
normally received as a NEW message. So suggest to Maiko to
say to JNOS2, if for example the BID 12234i0ojj is note
(i.e. is a generated or received MID/BID) then the next
received message in small or in capital letters should be
discarded/rejeted.
