I am also interested in FUDForum's NNTP features, which appear to be great.

There is one slight issue however. When a post is made via the forum, the version of the post on the forum does not contain a Message ID (MID), until it has been updated/replaced by the version on the Usenet server (all Usenet posts need a MID).

Every post from Usenet has a MID in the forum database, while every forum post has NULL. This means if a reply is made to a post before the post is updated from Usenet (and given its correct MID) then the threading is messed up on Usenet. MIDs are essential for proper threading on Usenet.

I'd like it if FUDForum would generate a Message ID and, thereby knowing the MID, it could insert it into the database for that post when it is made. So forum messages no longer have NULL, but the correct MID, even before they are synched with Usenet. So any reply made before synching would have a MID as a 'Reference'.

I know this much is possible, because I have done it myself, but for some reason, depending on the query I made on the database, when synching took place either no new messages were imported from Usenet, or the message with the existing/generated MID was duplicated (not updated/replaced with the Usenet version).

I assumed this would be pretty simple, so any way to do this? Or any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks.
