I'd appreciate help from anyone knowledgeable of Mozilla source.
In looking at the Message-ID created by Mozilla 4.76, I see a basic
format of:
12345678.12345678@domain
I have been able to determine that the first series of 8 characters
represents the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second. For example, in
the Message-ID [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
3AAB0A3D (hex) = 984287805 (dec) = Sunday, 11 March 2001, 5:16:45 (GMT).
My question is, exactly how do I decode the 88BD973C? And what is the
possibility that 2 messages 1 hour apart in the first series of 8
characters will have the same value in the second series of 8
characters?
I have spent quite a bit of time searching the Mozilla source tree, but
since I am not a programmer, I have not been able to spot the part of
the code that calcualtes Message-ID for new messages.
If anyone can help me understand exactly how a Message-ID is calculated,
I would really appreciuate it. Also, if you can point me to the place in
the sourse where it is calculated, that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
James
