Thank you Richard!

But sadly, it still doesn't work... I did an 'all show ragnar active' and it
still gives just ONE entry per game type - not even dependent on my opponent(s)
- in some games I have a pair of challenges going on...

I checked by giving the same command from my yahoo address, which verified the
problem with identical message-IDs is still there...

Cheers, Ragnar
