Thank you! I agree with your article and was actually wondering how
the MSGID 8 Char serial could even be assured to be unique with all of
the echomail floating around.

Well it's even more limited than "8 Char": it's 8 *hexadecimal* chars. FTS-9 is just a pretty bad idea, especially considering that RFC 822 had a much better/vetted Message-ID solution, was publicly availble for anyone to read/use, and existed 9 years before FTS-9 was published.
